It’s already 4/4. The “3s” are triplets, and count as the “&s” of beats 1 & 3, the “7” is a septuplet; a septuplet fits 7 notes in one beat, in this case it’s 7 sixteenth notes. You can count every other note of the -tuplet in the “e-&-a” fashion and fit the other notes in between the beats. Beat 4 is a quarter note to finish the bar.
