I have tried searching for the answer, but am either thinking too hard or not using correct search terms.

I have a 2 gang box (2 switches) and a single gang box appropriately spaced, but directly vertically above the dual gang box. My line is coming in from the top plate down. What is the best way to get the nm Into the bottom 2 gang box? It should be noted, these are 2 different circuits (one for each box) too is a thermostat for a 240v baseboard heater and the bottom is for standard switches.

If I route it behind the top box, it will be far too close to the opposite wall and is no good. I could go around the outside edge (opposite of stud side) but don't know it that is the best way.
