A recessed box is required for this design. There's a need to change your box to a smaller one, or find a way to move it further away from the computer.
I've seen a similar problem with fit before and don't know what the solution is. My experience with this product was very disappointing, so I built my own using an old outlet box I had lying I am very pleased with the outcome.

This is a nice solution to the problem of electrical boxes not being flush with the surface. This occurs when they are installed below tile or wood paneling (and in some cases wall board). Paneling made of wood is flammable so should not be exposed to heat or flames In spite of not being flammable, tiles are often insufficient to attach outlet or switch straps properly because of their uneven and insecure surface. There is an easy solution to this problem with this extender box. A single unit can provide up to one amp of power just by sliding into the electrical box. There is an additional 5" of The tiles or paneling are overlapping and the edge makes any unevenness less noticeable. The screws that came with it were very long, at least 2 inches long, but these are usually about 1/2" too long for most paneling/tiling applications, so I just keep a handful of 1 1/2" 6/32 screws on hand. The only problem I've had was with an old-fashioned phone, but it was easily resolved Working in a situation where 2 is the underlying root cause The gang box was made of two single-gang units There were gangs of metal boxes that weren't perfectly aligned after they had been linked together. Due to this, the four screw holes in the extender did not align with the holes in the base. It wasn't a big deal to fix this Plastic is a pretty thing, so I just drilled the holes larger and widened them with a 3/16"-wide drill bit The drill bit is 1/4". We only needed about a minute to complete the process. On newer work using a pre-existing template, you would not have this problem A molded 2-way You can find gang boxes anywhere. The following two suggestions have been received from other reviewers (2) If you only need half the depth of the plastic, use tin snips to remove some of the extra depth Use 3/4 inches instead of 1 inch. Because of the extra 5" it provides, the box can contain more items You can also cut the side edges (or perhaps both) of existing switches/outlets if they already exist and don't have many wires hanging out (or don't have a lot of wire play) to enable installation without removing the wires from the existing outlets.
A utility room in the house had a box that was 4 by 4 inches. There was a flat ring on top of it that connected to holes in the box. A tight fit was required to insert this extender. When I tested it on a two gang box that has screws already attached to the box, it worked just fine. As far as an extender goes, I have one more square box to add extensions to, and I will try a different style of box that will allow me to screw the extensions directly onto the box using the screw holes on the corners. It slips into the existing electrical box and the tabs on the outer rim prevent it from slipping when the outlet or switch is screwed into place. A drywall that has been cut too large might cause issues if the tabs don't make contact with the drywall or other wall surfaces. The extender does not attach to the box on its own. The extension wire and four screws were included. The four screws are used to secure the extension wire to an electrical box and at the same time they serve to hold the switch/outlet As a result of the depth increase, the screws are longer than the ones that come with the fixtures.
Many times, a book shelf or shelving unit is placed near electrical outlets on the wall. It is possible to access the outlets without tearing apart the wall in order to relocate the wall outlet box using these extenders. The outlet I blocked with a large bookcase is the result of blocking several outlets on my wall. According to where the wall outlets were located, I cut holes in the back panels of the book cases. This box extension system is installed after the book cases have been installed. It is secured with the long mounting screws that are part of the extender. As an alternative to mounting the electrical outlet to the wall outlet box, the extender is used instead. A unique and inexpensive solution to a difficult problem, these extenders offer an elegant and economical solution. Be sure to take into account the dimensions of the old wall outlet before making a hole in a case or shelf. The sizes of electrical boxes vary somewhat from one manufacturer to another. Generally, extension will fit most wall boxes, but some may be a bit too small for the wedge-shaped extender (which does not extend fully). Before you can be sure, you will have to purchase the extender first.
Although we were complete novices, we were able to achieve great results. When we removed the tile cover plates to reinstall the outlets, we realized that all of our outlets would end up recessed since the thickness of the tile would be so great. An extension would have allowed the outlets to run flush against the tile. It is intended to be used as a 2-year reference. The answer was to use a gang extender. It is very difficult to find these extenders in the big box stores in my area. It's the one There are gang extenders on the market, but the two-gang ones are not During construction, gang extenders were used. The finished product looks very professional! They answered all of our questions and provided us with exactly what we needed!.
Ideal for tiled areas, or to increase the insulation of wall cavities or to conceal old outlets that have been set back a long time. Get extended screws if you want them to last a long time. These companies not only cut corners, but don't add them as well. Buying a burger without a bun would be like buying a hamburger without.
Buying both two gang and single gang outlet box extenders from Arlington was a great option. It was exactly what I needed to extend my outlet boxes in my switches so I could have a subway tile backsplash in my kitchen. In spite of the fact that my builder did not install the outlet boxes squarely, they are strong enough to be reliable and durable, while also being flexible enough to allow me to work with them.
My local shops have none that compare to these for the following reasons I have a. 1) Their diameter can easily be The phrase "
b. The screw holes under the outlet screw holes are large enough for the plate screws to fit into them. It is not possible to mount the plate properly against the wall if the screw has hit the extension box and protruded from the plate. It fits perfectly with the original metal conduit boxes in my office and I will order them again in the future if the need arises.
There are old ones that are smaller than new ones, and I couldn't find any extender that would fit them. In this case, it As well as a single one, I got two. This extension was perfect for covering the drywall we installed this past week and extending our old gang boxes.
