Ok, I get the randomness, but why not try it with the right dices?
Isnt that irellevant, now when you have 4d6 as demanded? O_o

I overread that, but as Niara said, your numbers don't really make sense. You can't have a 20 or 21 with 4d6, you are supposed to drop the lowest roll.

Yeah, standard method from late 2nd to about 3rd edition is:

Roll 4d6 and drop lowest creating a stat from 3 to 18 with probability tilted in the direction of higher stats.

See the Anydice distribution here: https://anydice.com/program/13e

After rolling you are then allowed to assign each roll to whichever of the 6 stats you want rather than placing them in order.

3d6 in order hasn't been standard since early 2nd ed AD&D days.

Even my brother's method is 5d6k3. See distribution here: https://anydice.com/program/da6

Though he also follows that up with roll 7 times and keep the 6 highest results... then he compares the results everybody got and gives points so people match whoever rolled the highest.
