How do I create perfect stroke-dash spacing for a rounded rectangle?

Question

So I'm trying to recreate this rectangle from Ikea:

But I still can't get it quite right:

My rect is 242 X 162 with a 16px radius. Is this possible or do I just need to create it myself through custom vectors?

@BillyKerr Ah shoot, sorry about that. Didn't realize it was a 'lightbox' overlay instead of a separate page. Edited the link! — aalok89, Jun 7 '20 at 17:43
I've turned these into actual images in the question, just in case the links rot over time. — Billy Kerr, Jun 7 '20 at 18:09
are you using illustrator of figma? you tagged both in the question — Luciano, Jun 8 '20 at 7:40

I would do this manually. The example below was made in Illustrator, but should be possible in any vector image editor.

Yeah, that's what I figured. Was just wondering if there was an easy way to do this with the dashes, since I have to do several of these with different dimensions and shapes. Thanks!

@aalok89 In Illustrator, if you apply a dash to a stroke, the problem is that if you then round the corners, it changes the perimeter size and messes up the position of the dashes. You could instead Expand the Appearance of a non-round cornered rectangle, and then round the corners using the round corner widgets.
