    The rest of the panel. Cut and paste.

    A strip cut too short is not an ornament either.

    You need to leave a few mm between the wall and the edge of the panel, because the panels may bulge when they are too tight. And the gap between the panels and the wall must be masked with an edge strip.

    The panels are well placed, there should be a distance from the wall. The only solution is to use a batten connector and a piece of batten. Under the frame itself you will need to add a piece of paneling as mentioned above, it is best to glue it, not to push it in.

    Thanks for the answers above. The problem is that the walls are unfortunately not straight and it was not possible to reach the frame with the finishing strip. Do you know any "sealants" or "kits" that could help?

    There is something for me called "wood filer". It is a kind of putty. Then it can be painted in any color.

    If you absolutely want to fill it with some sealant, maybe you can choose silicone that matches the color of the panels.

    Probably not valid anymore, but I would choose strips that can be bent and there are those that would bend easily against such unevenness of the wall. It was also possible to consider heating the current strip with a heat gun to make it more flexible and form it on the unevenness of the wall. It is supposed to be plastic and it will definitely be more plastic when heated, but you cannot overdo it with the temperature because the strip will lose its color or start shrinking.
