I would go with moving the ears back.
You may have an issue with internal clearance, but it shouldn't be that bad.

I bought a different cabinet design from DDB and didn’t realize it was
actually smaller.
So trying to shove these large switches in there, along with raceways
and cable management has been a challenge.
Everything does fit, but just couldn’t get the switches to attach to
the rack posts that far back.
Standoffs are too wide in this case.

But they make velcro, zipties, duct tape and hotmelt glue for that!

Oh, no, I think not.
I already have them stacked on a mounted shelf in the rack.
This is just to fix them in place.

would something as small as 10-32 at 6 inches support the weigt
without bending at the thread?

I think even here in the US, square holes and M6 cage nuts and

I've seen lots of M6 in the stuff from China, and of course 12-24
and 10-32 from US sources... But never M5.

Rack screw can be 10-32, 12-24, M5, M6. And rack rail can be
threaded, round hole, square hole. Too many options.

I know on Cisco switches you could turn the ears around and
the holes would line up so you’d get more switch in front of
the rails.

That's a good idea.
If there are not holes, is there a small screw type that
is short and self-tapping?
Not sure the best way to mount the ears if the holes for
the ears don't exist on the switch.

Add mounting ears farther back on the switch.

This is really specific; don't ask why I need it :)
But I need a standard rack threaded screw that looks like
a 6 to 7 inch long motherboard standoff screw.
So it would stand a 1U switch forward from the 19" rack
about 6-7 inches.
I tried standard rack standoff modules, but the space is
too limiting.
