First step should probably be to verify it’s not hot.

Should tape the receptacle. Of those straps move they could become energized.

Since youve added metal into the receptacle box, shouldn’t you have wrapped the receptacle w electrical tape to prevent grounding out

Or you could just pop the box loose and move it back and run a couple of drywall screws into the stud

i feel like shimming the box from the outside is better than putting in metal straps that can contact the outlet

The "first thing we should do" is turn off the breaker [electrical supply] to that outlet.

Nope… first thing you gotta do is turn the power off to the receptacle and test it.
