(Caveat:I may have these reversed).
-"Old work" boxes are plastic and have tabs which grip the backside of the drywall.
-"New work" boxes are for new construction without drywall and are nailed/screwed into studs. Metal or plastic.

If it's a non-electrical connection, just stuff it full of toothpicks and screw it back in. Pine is soft and forgiving, or shave some hardwood.
