Troubling with this level?
Maybe this step-by-step can help....

-------
Main game, Chapter 5 - 8: the level with mirror, lemons, skull, books, candle +++

Step by step:
(can be done in different order, of course, but this way there's less chance of missing something...)

0) Start with the mirror on the left side, and move it gradually towards the right for each step:

1) Place the lemon wedge in front of image in mirror. When placed correctly, it will give a small 'snap-back' as confirmation.

2) Put the round lemon into the water jug, place the water jug in front of image in mirror. Watch for the 'snap-back' confirmation.

3) Snuff out the flame on the candle (click on the flame to put it out). Place candlestick in front of image in mirror. Watch for the 'snap-back' confirmation.

4) Place the long lemon on top of the tall glass dish, place in front of image in mirror. Watch for the 'snap-back' confirmation.

5) Put the leafy twig into the green vase. Place the vase in front of image in mirror. Watch for the 'snap-back' confirmation.

6) Move the yellow box to a position in front of the mirror where you can see all of the mirror image of it. Click on the mirror-image box fastener, so that the lid of the 'real' box opens, then put the skull into the 'real' box (the lid closes by itself).

7) Line up the books so that the stack has a straight right side. Easiest if you start from the bottom of the stack, moving up book by book. Line up the box with skull inside, on top of the stack, so that the box right side also lines up along the right hand side of the stack.
Move the whole stack+box, in front of the image in the mirror (move the whole stack by pushing the bottom book). Watch for the 'snap-back' confirmation.

If you've followed all the steps carefully, it should now give you the level :-)

TIP: If it still won't solve, then do the bookstack over again: each book from the bottom of the stack and upwards. And watch out for that 'snap-back' for the books (bookstack), and for the box. That's the confirmation that the placement is recognised as valid.

And this is how a valid solution looks:
