Maybe it is double vertices? In edit mode select everything and M to merge by distance. It could also be the angle. Can you upload your file so we can take a look? You can use Dropbox or Google Drive and post the link.

No, I tried that before and there were no double vertices.

I tried to move the whole edge loop along the y-axis for a little bit, that kind of worked now.

It works for me to connect extra edges with the knife tool to the edge below:

Hi Thomas,

Link says: "Item was Deleted".

Although Omar's method works, that shouldn't be necessary.

We have seen before, that this was because there was an angle (red line) between 'top and bottom' Faces (can't see that from your screenshot...), something like this, maybe:

Hi Martin,
sorry for that, I re-uploaded the file: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/zfoa8vyfwxfl7j3cdpp3x/gameboy.blend?rlkey=qkm59kr0rv3ibtkt1mkv0smrp&st=k1qt8m63&dl=0

Oh that´s interesting.

Cheers Thomas!

It was indeed as I suspected. It's rather subtle (hard to find, if you don't know what to look for 😉, but I created an extra Edge as a guide to see if there was an angle and behold:

Moving these Vertices back in Y a bit, to 'meet' the helper Edge (from Side Orthographic View), gives the wanted Bevel:
