The easiest fix is using plastic box extenders that cost like a dollar each, which slide right onto the boxes to fill the gap. I have an electrical box that is set about 1/8" too deep in the wall so when the switchplate is installed the receptable plugs are sunken into the plate and recessed. This misalignment can not only. This is a perfectly normal installation with a 'remodel box' - it uses the blue tabs on the surface of the wall to hold itself in place, screw bracket type arms on the back. You can look for cover plates that have more depth if necessary. Edit - I only saw the first pic. We'll walk you through the real-world headaches you might face when installing concealed boxes – and more importantly, how to fix them like a pro. Hidden switches and sockets look sleek until you're elbow-deep in. No description has been added to this video.
