How can I bring this forward so the junction box is accessible?

Do I just get enough single gang extension rings to bring it out far enough to sit flush with the drywall?

Or do I add an access panel on the drywall?

From my understanding, NEC doesn't allow junction boxes to be concealed. So I can't just drywall this back up once I fix the jank wiring. I think my best move here it to add an extension ring to the single gang box, redo the FMC and properly connect everything and put a cover on it. Then put in an access panel in the drywall to try and meet code.
