Drill the hole. Put the rawl plug on the end of a long screw push it into the wall and then twist it out.

Won’t the fact that it’s mounted so far back make it weaker? It’ll be like hanging the cabinet on a lever?

No it will be grand if you use good size 5 screws. Only screw as far as the plasterboard don't screw the screw in all the way to the concrete. If you have 20mm of air you might use a 5 x 70 screw. A red rawl plug will hold it good and tight.

Adjust sizes for America i suppose. I don't know your system. I'm in mm

Use a 5.5 drill bit.

The problem is I’m not sure if I’m allowed to drill into the breeze block because it’s between me and next door
