    They make a extension in PVC and possibly for other flanges, or you can try a regular wax gasket with a repair wax ring with a rubber or plastic collar (repair flange) on top of the regular wax ring with the repair flange above it with the collar going through the bottom ring to keep the wax ring from blocking the toilet opening
