What happens here

Position the newly cut corner metal piece into the opening, ensuring the quarter-inch overlap sits correctly against the existing metal. Secure it in place using 1.5-inch drywall screws and a power drill. Drive the screws in far enough so they are flush with or slightly recessed below the surface of the corner metal. Use a hammer to lightly tap the metal to ensure a tight fit and a smooth transition where the new piece meets the old. Check the flushness of the screws by running a trowel over the surface; if any screws protrude, drive them in further with the drill.

Goal: Securely attach the new corner metal to the wall
