Here is my attempt at distributing the 19 balls. Please be warned that this may be wrong! Take it at your own peril !!!!:

1-    8 + 7 + 3 + 1 = 19
2-   8 + 7 + 2 + 2 = 19
3-   8 + 6 + 4 + 1 = 19
4-   8 + 6 + 3 + 2 = 19
5-    8 + 5 + 5 + 1 = 19
6-   8 + 5 + 4 + 2 = 19
7-   8 + 5 + 3 + 3 = 19
8-   8 + 4 + 4 + 3 = 19
9-    7 + 7 + 4 + 1 = 19
10-  7 + 7 + 3 + 2 = 19
11-  7 + 6 + 5 + 1 = 19
12-  7 + 6 + 4 + 2 = 19
13-  7 + 6 + 3 + 3 = 19
14-  7 + 5 + 5 + 2 = 19
15-  7 + 5 + 4 + 3 = 19
16-  6 + 6 + 5 + 2 = 19
17-  6 + 6 + 4 + 3 = 19
18-  6 + 5 + 5 + 3 = 19

The capacity of the boxes is counted from left to right as: 8, 7, 5, 3

1 - above can have one additional arrangement: 8 + 7 + 1 + 3........19

4- above .............................................................: 8 + 6 + 2 + 3........20

10 - above............................................................: 7 + 7 + 2 + 3.........21

11- above..............................................................: 6+ 7 + 5 + 1.........22

12 - above.............................................................: 6 + 7 + 4 + 2........23

13-above................................................................: 6 + 7 + 3 + 3.......24

14- above................................................................: 5 + 7 + 5 + 2.......25

15- above.................................................................:5 + 7 + 4 + 3.......26

16-above..................................................................: 6 + 7 + 5 + 1...... 27

6 + 7 + 4 + 2.......28

6 + 7 + 3 + 3.......29

18-above...................................................................: 5 + 6 + 5 + 3.......30

So, it looks that in addition to the 18 listed above, you can have another 12 arrangements for a grand total =30
