The proper way to install this is to cut the drywall back to allow the window to come into the structure where it can be properly mounted. Filling the void will not transfer the load to the framing properly and under negative pressure will trnsfer the load to the veneer which is not part of the MWFRS.

I have a frame building with a brick veneer It has a 1" space between the two. The inspector is not allowing the window to be installed because of the void. he says the window must be supported fully for the 3.5 inches of the window thickness. The outside is supported by the veneer and the inside is supported by the drywall and the double studs underneath.The void is where the screw holes are located.We wanted to drill other holes in further to catch the studs and he said he needs engineering from the manufacture PGT to allow this change.

Your inspector is likely correct about drilling new holes,. as all of these building parts such as windows have been approved for their use with their engineering. Ya, common sense would say drill and it would work great, but if it fails with the next storm, who ya gonna call. It (like everything else)  boils down to liability. Why can't you just fill the void? Hope this helps.
