Would patching the right side or converting to a double gang w/ wall plate be better? (lemmy.today)

No idea what the story behind this is. It's a single gang coax box, and just a hole next to it. Looks like previous owner started to patch the drywall by putting the backer in but gave up.

Its not a stud, just a piece of fiber board screwed into place. Likely to be used as backing for a patch that never came. I'd just unscrew it and then swap to a double gang after cleaning up the hole
