Our Custom Cooler drawer has broken off and we are trying to put it back into its sockets. The issue we have is with one side of the sliding mechanisms which includes two separate rubber sliders with six metallic balls a piece. We cannot figure out how to put the rubber sliders(balls included) back in place and its proving quite frustrating. Any help would be appreciated.

I suppose that by looking at the good one on the other side is of no help since the two halves? are together, and the balls obviously are in their places, hidden from visual observation?
For anyone here to be able to help you, we would have to have a very detailed description of every part, and every single detail about them would have to be mentioned. And even then, you may not even know all what that needs to be said, if you are unfamiliar with how other similar things may lock together.
How is it that it came apart? THAT aspect would have to be described so one would know how to get it to stay closed again, once the balls are inside again.
Maybe something wore out beyond repair? Like, the balls or the track the balls are on, wore enough to make the balls come out of bearing sockets or something. ??
Can't you just buy a new one? Or is there something particularly problematic about that idea?
But, this would be a fun little challenge. Sometimes there are little tricks you can use. Other times it is almost impossible, due to how the factory assembled it with machines.
And/or close up photos taken and pasted here.

Here is an example of a trick: Holding bearing pieces in place, while you close up the halves, by imbedding the balls or needle bearings in grease.
