Are you allowed to put screws inside a receptacle box to mount it against a stud if so which type of receptacle box would you use

There are some metal box's that have an "offset" set of holes on one side of the inside of the box that allows you to fasten from the inside of the box to the stud with your impact driver at an angle. Those box's would be the safest best. Not sure if using the holes on other box's that are flat to the side is allowed.

That rework box is supposed to be secured with CI820-DX device box supports.

I don't see anything in the instructions about not being able to use screws.  I attached the instructions below.
