MK made the little metal wings to fit the back boxes.

Yes, I keep them in stock. Can be used to fit a box tight against a stud. Use a couple of wood screws to fix one end to the stud and the Mk wing on the other end.
If I know I'm going to need one the next day, I've been known to tack weld a wing in place on a box the previous evening.
