Ugh. What I have done in a similar situation is get these kind of anchors:

And cut both the plastic anchor AND the screw to be short enough to fit in the space. That was pretty fidgety and I don't know if it would be up to a super heavy cabinet.

I would never use something like that for a cabinet. Toggle bolts at a minimum. Personally, I would mount 1x4 strips into studs, then mount cabinet to those, then trim out the gap.

Yeah I was using these I guess where the bolt was too long it pushed against the breeze block and fucked the drywall
