Why do I have this weird shading issue?

Question

I'm modelling a Gameboy right now and after adding the dpad und an A button. After remeshing everything into quads I still have some harsh edges around the A button and I cannot figure out why.

I have enabled auto smoothing but that doesnt help anymore. I set the main object to shade smooth, but I dont know how shade this completely clean.

the added blend file

Hello could you please share your file? https://blend-exchange.com/ — moonboots, Dec 24 '23 at 13:23
BTW this looks far out of proportion to a real GameBoy, so if you're looking to model an accurate GameBoy, set a picture of one as your background and make your model match up. — user253751, Dec 25 '23 at 12:37

It shades smooth between the front and side faces. Put the Weighted Normal below the Bevel modifier and it will fix the problem as it will take the virtual bevel faces into account:

what would you say about the topology mesh ? good or bad ? – flolopi Dec 24 '23 at 22:14
You could have made it simpler (for example less vertices for the cylindric hole and give your object a Subdivision Surface to make it rounder) – moonboots Dec 24 '23 at 22:52
