[Solved] Move volume next to empty space?

I recently shrunk down one of my other partitions to make some space for arch linux, and I am trying to expand my archlinux partition by 25GB. I asked before and i need to do it from a live usb. Fdisk doesn’t seem to have an extend command and CFdisk tells me “Maximum size is 25233661440”. Do i need to use a different tool?

Update: I need to move it next to the unallocated space. How could I do this?

Can you post your partition table? I assume you're using ext4?
What I would do is just make a good backup of the partition/s you're moving, repartition the drive then copy back the data to the new partition.
And to be really safe, I would also have a clone of the whole drive before the surgery.

I forgot to mark this as solved. I fixed it using a bootable GParted USB.
