Shower and bathroom problem.

Evening all.Hope everyone is well. I moved into my house a year or so ago and the previous owner had claimed a small area in the second bedroom to install a shower cubicle (not a problem in itself. But unfortunately the wiring was completely bodged. We had an electrician come in and isolate the electrics and just left it as it was for the time being until we had funds to fix it.
Well move on a year and we've decided to remodel the bathroom as honestly the whole thing has been completely bodged. And this is where I have come across my issue. I am pulling the shower end apart first refitting this end and then cracking on with the bath as we need one or the other....
The issue I have is the old tray was pushed back in under the framework the previous owner had put in and then boarded down onto the shower tray (So in effect the shower was only 730mm deep). He had secured the shower door to the existing joist on the external wall and then added a support on the interior dry wall side of the door and secured to the roof joist. the problem was it looked horrendous as the joist on the drywall has a 12.5mm sheet of plasterboard that petrudes past where the door would screw too making it look super untidy and I'm not sure how to finish it? So have come here for advice. I'm honestly not sure how to make a good job of it. Sorry for the terrible explanation but hopefully make some sense from it. Pictures below of offending area.
Thanks in advance
