See if this will help. It is called a box extender. They are used in the more traditional campers when you have to install a GFIC into a shallow/old work box. This goes on the outside of the wall, over the top of the wallboard.

The box extender will give you more room on the box. You still have to have enough wire to splice/attach to a standard receptacle.
I'm not saying this will fix your issue, just throwing out options in case it can help. It creates more room.
This is not the best pic of the extender, I was troubleshooting the KIB tank panel, but the GFIC is just below it with the extender cover on it.

Hope this helps
