Guide snapping to comp

Explorer ,
Jun 01, 2022 Jun 01, 2022

Hello. 
I'm pretty sure I allready did this thousand times, but today in after effects 22 I can't find a way to snap my guide to my comp frame !
I have a main comp, very large. Inside, I have another comp in 1920px, I need to put guides on the border of the 1920 comp. The guide doesn't snap. The inverse works : I can snap the comp to the guide. Hope this is clear. What did I miss?

I believe there's simply some bugs with this for the umpteenth time. It gets fixed eventually but then breaks again after every second or third update. In this particular case I'm pretty sure someone simply overlooked that the new infinite canvas/ outside comp drawing would mess with this. So you have to wait until it gets fixed. In the meantime it might be a good idea to find a script on AEScripts.com that can manage guides numerically.

Hello. Thank you for fast feedback and Sorry for the delay, I quickly saw your answer but jumped back to deadlines.
 Finally I did it old school : mega zoom on pixel and hand placing. I didn't know about rightclick on the guide, this could help next time. Again thanks for answer.

I never knew you could snap Guides to Comp Edges. And there's no way you can move a Comp to snap its edges onto a Guide. Perhaps there is some miscommunication here - can you show screen grabs of your Comp+Timeline? And as Mylenium has suggested, you can input numerical values to set the position of your Guides - right-click on a guide and punch in the number you want.
