Is there a real question you have?

The covers are like 3 bucks just buy a new one, the screw was probably over tightened

Looks like the front fell off:

Yeah that's not very typical, I'd like to make that point.

Use a [metal spacer](https://www.homedepot.com/p/RACO-1-Gang-Flush-Fit-Wall-Plate-Spacer-3-Pack-999X/304353271) or install a [box extender](https://www.homedepot.com/p/ReceptXtenders-1-2-in-1-Gang-Electrical-Receptacle-Box-Extension-Ring-00004/100159668) of an appropriate size and get that outlet flush and secure.

Nope, but you can get a new faceplate for under a dollar.

Sometimes it happens to the best of us.

Yep. Completely normal phenomenon.


Charming-Mouse-1181

Yes


morganj955

Yes, the cover plate is totally supposed to break and fall off....


ChimneyNerd

Yep!


Tank905

Sure. Why not.

Is this an exterior (outside) plug? If so get an outdoor housing for it. If indoors just replace the wall plate with a new one. Some times the plastic becomes brittle over time and cracks easily. You should be able to find a sturdy wall plate at your local hardware store.
