Novice electrician here...

Just had a rock wall installed around the fireplace and I'm not sure what to do about the fireplace and fan control. I put in a gang box extension, but I'm not sure how it connects to the gang box. It is also a little bit off center.

See photos below.

Any ideas to finish this off properly

Thanks,
Mark

this type of thing is common in modern buildings on allsorts of face brick/block work, if i have to install after the walls complete,i cut the hole very carefully so that the ko box is a tight fit then i morter around it if theres a gap but there shouldn,t be a gap if its chased in correctly, the box should be a very tight fit, theres no need to fix the box , hammer it into position using a drift of some sort , and the b-gger won,t come out(btw marcus, that white plate looks awful on that brickwork! --sorry!)
