All snapping elements work, except faces

Hello,

this is a fairly simple question, one which i haven’t been able to figure out. I have been trying to snap an object to the face of a cube, and for the life of my i can not get it to snap properly, while snapping to all the other elements works like a charm. I made sure to enable snapping, set it to faces, set to closest, and tried enabling/disabling ‘snap unto itself’ and ‘‘project individual elements…’’ for good measure (just to make sure i wasn’t missing something.)

Thoughts?

For precise snapping set snapping to Active and position the object origin at the point on the object you want to snap

Supply example screenshots/files for review

What i’m trying to do is to snap to face in edit mode: i want to place the balistrade pillar (shown below) unto the selected face (preferably right in the middle).
