SHOULD THE WALL UNDER YOUR SINK BE EXPOSED??

What happens here

Before securing the patch, the electrical wire must be threaded through its designated hole. The presenter initially attempts to install the patch but realizes the wire needs to be pulled through first. He re-adjusts, threading the wire through the drywall. Then, he carefully aligns the patch with the wall opening, guiding the hot and cold water pipes and the drain pipe through their corresponding holes. He confirms a relatively snug fit. The patch is then secured to the existing wall framing with drywall screws, ensuring it is flush and stable.

Goal: Carefully fit the cut drywall patch into the wall opening, guiding the electrical wire and plumbing pipes through their respective holes.
