Moving a 40 amp breaker

[Jadssh]

Hello everyone, new member here. I’m moving a 40 amp breaker in my panel box and don’t have enough wire to reach where I’m putting it. I have a spare 4 foot section of 6 awg aluminum wire. On the insulation it says the following, stabiloy AA-8000AL XLPE 600V USE-2 or RHH or RHW-2. I have researched this until I got a headache. Some info said you can’t use it indoors, other info said you could. The wire feeding the breaker, which is for my range is aluminum. My plan was to just splice the two hot wires separately with a butt splicer which will allow me to make up the extra 6 inches I need. I was planning on leaving the existing ground and neutral wires where they are at. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
