Reproduction Steps

------------------
1) Spawn a Caterpillar
2) Do some "salvage" mission and to collect cargo
3) Get some variable size boxes of Cargo with the new management system
4) Notice that any cargo box 2SCU or larger will not snap near the walls/doors of the caterpillar.

What happened
-------------
The caterpillar cargo grid has issues with the new box sizes. Currently only the Size 1 boxes can be positioned near the walls or door, or the size 2 boxes can fit, but must be horizontally placed.
Not only does this make cargo management in a cargo ship very difficult, but it also severely reduces the amount of cargo that can be loaded in the Caterpillar. Currently the 32 SCU boxes do not attach to the grid, and must free float inside the caterpillar despite fitting perfectly. No other boxes can be placed on those

What should have happened
-------------------------
Cargo should fully attach to the grid to allow multiple boxes to be stacked since the 32 SCU boxes do not attach to the grid, you cannot stack other boxes on them. It appears the new sizes just don't work well with the edge of the caterpillars cargo pods.

Workaround
----------
none for the 32 SCU boxes, but for smaller ones they must be placed sideways
