Need help changing light fixture
I'm changing out a light fixture. The new fixture came with an 'easy connect mounting bracket' that is circular and larger than the existing electrical box which is rectangular. I can connect everything, but the back of the inserts on the mounting bracket don't allow the bracket to sit flush with the wall. What do I need to do here?

Some pictures would help us understand the problem you are having. You mentioned "wall". Are you installing a wall sconce?
How does your fixture mount? Does it have two screws spaced several inches apart or is there one big threaded tube in the center?

If you mean a switch box that uses 6-32 screws replace it with the correct box, an octagon or round box that uses 8-32 fixture screws.
