Yeah so it's green board you need (or blue) and if you want to make your life easy and instead of cutting back to find something to screw into do yourself a favour and google california patch. Take a piece of drywall that's 2 to 3 inches bigger on each side and peel away the drywall so only the paper remains. mud the hole and stick the patch in the hole. let it dry, sand and skim coat. Sand and then use mold resistant paint on the affected area.

Yup, already planning on the California patch method, looks quick and simple. Just needa get some dry walling tos and supplies. Appreciate everyone that commented

You're only gonna need to get a small amount. Get a bag of the 90 minute powder for when other shit comes up man.

And a fan to make it dry faster too. Contractor ones are expensive, a normal fan is better than nothing.

Do what you want plenty of ways.

Either that or screw it to a backing board you made. California patches is a drywaller trick, someone well practiced at mudding. Homeowners and handymen use backing boards normally.

Do what you want though.
