I am updating a light fixture. It appears to be a 4 inch rounded square 1 1/4 inch box in the ceiling sticking out about 3/4 of an inch.
This will not work with the new fixture and bracket. Will a 4 inch round shallow box fit? I bought one but I'm doubting it is going in that easily.
I see there is also a 3 1/2 inch round shallow box I could get. I assume that would fit, but the mounting bracket appears to have 2 sets of holes. Are the common sizes 4 inch and 3 1/2 inch?

"Oblong" is "elongated rectangle or oval shape" - the box shown is neither.
