Rewrite URL not working in Custom post type

Question

i have a custom post type which is products and has the custom taxonomy called categories. Under this categories i have a parent category and sub category.Now when i publish any post inside the post type products the URL structure should be xyz.com/products/parentcategory/subcategory/postname. But the URL structure is coming xyz.com/products/parentcategory/postname or xyz.com/products/subcategory/postname

$labels = array(

You can do this from your WordPress permalink. Go to Settings>Permalinks in Product permalinks check Custom base and past this /products/%category%/%postname%/.
