I'm roughing the electric in an addition. All the device and switch boxes have markers for 1/2" or 5/8" drywall.

The ceiling boxes I grabbed have a set point for 3/8" . My ceiling board will be 5/8" . I'm assuming I grabbed the wrong boxes and the box should be flush with final ceiling level?
 
They are slater s1-20-rac boxes. Now that I look closer I do see a line at 5/8". I'd like to keep moving so I'm putting them in . And hopfully you guys don't tell me to pull them out in the morning. :rofl:
