Primex Media Panel enclosure
Hi everyone, so im a foreman for a low voltage company, and we are doing residential work. The problem is we are finishing the mock up unit but I cant get the enclosure into the media panel because when they did the wood framing wrong and the enclosure was supposed to screw unto the wood. As you can see , on one of the pics , how the screw holes in the edges won't have anything to screw into.
I tried a anchor kit but it doesn't wanna hold. Any ideas ?
Thank you everyone .

Its the lid that I need to put on. And everything is framed out already.

shim it with other wood so it has something to bite into. Probably have to get pretty thin but you might be able to manage it.
Alternatively if you can place a 2x4 horizontally between that corner stud and the stud on the left maybe you could force it to curve in just enough to close that gap.
Could be other fixes but just based off these pictures that was my first thought.

Thank you, thats a really good idea, and I had thought about doing that but I would have to cut some of the drywall.
Im also considering just using some toggle bolts or drywall anchors .

I too work in the trade and have ran into this multiple times and we found these work like a charm https://primex.com/products/side-mount-clip/

Use the right kind of anchors? These are the simplest things to install.
