Can't you grab a piece of wood and mount the piece in vertical behind the box, then
send a screw through?
Since bolts are allowed use a toggle bolt and measure and cut the difference, using
the toggle end use a large washer and send a bolt behind it and then two more bolts
to snug to the box. If the face of the washer is at inside gysum board edge, the toggle
bolt can compress into the sheet when placed againest it!
I have and ususally like to always use a bay span bracket for switches, and use the right
angle brackets for receptacles. I never like to place a receptacle againest the framing
because of the door splashes and it's usually odd looking in the end if and when finished out.
I've added framing to push the box away from openings in more than one occassion.
