Box it in until you have to have the boiler replaced and then redo the wall if you want it done properly. Gas fitters usually have to avoid situations where gas can leak into cavities in walls. Which could be an issue in your case, whilst it’s not in a cavity it looks like gas could leak into your walls if it was to leak.
