Let’s hope all the drywall guys leave the four corners for the spacer to land on!!!!

People in the comments are scared of it being metal as if the tabs and screws on the outlet aren’t already made of metal???

They make plastic outlet shims for this that cover the gap also providing some arc protection between the outlet box n wall material even in multiple hang box, use these or at very least non metallic rated ones. Also their not that expensive for what they do. ✅

NO! Even if it takes a day..Make sure the power is off at the out let (circuit breaker)Find the stud locations, carefully cut the drywall large enough for a real repair. (If a two wire setup, at least use a GFCI). Make sure you have good wire length. Attach a new box, feeding the wire through the box. Fit in the drywall and repair it. Make sure the wiring is connected and grounded. Count on painting or drywalling. A lot more work yeah, but better safe. Look at some good Youtube videos.

I was going to say putting a metal bracket on something like that doesn't seem like a bright idea
