What happens here

Insert the scrap piece of wood behind the existing drywall, positioning it so it overlaps the hole by about an inch on both sides. Secure the wood backing in place using drywall screws and a drill, driving the screws through the existing drywall into the wood. This creates a sturdy anchor for the new drywall patch. Then, place the pre-cut drywall patch into the hole and secure it to the wood backing with drywall screws.

Goal: Install wood backing and secure the new drywall patch into the hole.
