Does the old work box really stick out that far? Doesn't seem like the tabs that hold it against the drywall would cause that huge a gap. Tightened down well it should be nearly flush.

Try bending the sides of the mounting plate the lamp screws into back so when you attach it to the box they sit closer to the wall.

It’s flush, it’s just that the rim on the front is surprisingly thick and pushes everything off the wall a bit. But that’s a decent idea to try manipulating the mounting plate
