Arria 10 M20k block usage- More block with less memory bits?

Hello I have a design that fits on the Arria 10 GX dev board with chip 10AX11552F4sI1SG which has 2713 M20K blocks. The total memory bits for this design are 36,171,984, all 2713 blocks are used. ...

I remain very unsatisfied with the proposed possibilities. The most recent ( Best Fit vs Safe Fit) cannot be confirmed or checked. I also don't even have a definition for the two options.

Either way it does nothing to explain why the Quartus compilation claims that the design needs MORE memory bits on the small chip than on the larger (see my first post). If we had a situation where the smaller chip did not fit but the number of memory bits required was consistent then I could understand why it wasn't working. But that is not the case.
