TLDR ...

What to do now, depends on your goal:
If a) you want the challenge of solving a more difficult puzzle, just
put your thinking cap on and keep all of the Sokoban rules in mind;
If b) you just want to finish Sokoban for the loot, then count the
boulders and if you have enough go ahead and break one with a pickaxe
or wand of striking, or maybe you need to do some squeezing and if
that leaves you short of boulders then you'll just have to waste a
scroll of earth.

Just remember to consider the potential luck consequences and don't go
praying for food (or something) until you know you're safe.

looks to me like you need to go back up and push B down one and C to
the left one. then you can go back around to the bottom, going
around M, and push F (the rightmost F, that is) up one. That should
allow you to push K down one and clear M, O, N, K, L, J, etc.

If my count is correct:
You have 16 boulders on screen, and 11 holes.
That level starts with 16 boulders and 12 holes.

My guess is this relates to the fact you have two boulder 'F'. Which one
isn't supposed to be there?

The one that's a mimic:-). A couple of 's' (how many depends on
your luck), and you should be able to see the difference.

You could also try to move diagonally onto each of those two squares.
