once drywall is installed all the twisting of the stud suddenly goes away, unless they don't put any screws in that particular stud for some reason.Hi,
Can you please give me your opinion whether this installation will be solid enough once the walls are up?

Right now the box moves significantly.

Also, the gap noted in the first photo will disappear once the other piece of sheetrock is attached.
Can't tell enough details in the images, is it some kind of adjustable box? If not adjustable I really don't understand what is moving, if it is adjustable something is installed wrong or malfunctioning maybe.Thanks for the quick reply.
However I am not concerned with the stud moving but with the box on the stud. If you push on it, it will move significantly and it doesn't feel solid. So I was just wondering if this is common.
I don't think there will be a sheetrock behind the box to fill the gap.
There's going to be 3 sheetrocks which will go around the box and the gap will remain.

Movement as shown by green arrow, because of the gap shown in first 2 photos. So if the box is pushed in, it will not remain fully perpendicular to the sheetrock. Will this movement remain once the front sheetrock is installed?
I can see now that the third photo appears to be a completely different box than the one in the first two photos.
looks like the bracket is either not wide enough to match stud depth or needs remounted to box in the correct location.
Is probably ok as long as it only has one cable entry, two entries and it likely has too much conductor fill.The box looks somewhat small.
