I ordered snug plugs from Amazon to keep plugs in place but they don't work all the time. Can you explain how to use the double-sided tape how and where on the socket do you apply it.

If the snug-plug doesn't work, try flipping it over so the right hand 'flap' goes into the left slot and vise-versa. Look closely and you'll see that one flap of the snug-plug is slightly wider than the other - it's easy to miss. Put the wide flap into the wide slot of the outlet receptacle.– StanNov 17 '21 at 2:58

Welcome to Lifehacks.
The moderator Chenmunka offered the double-sided tape hack to hold an electrical plug securely in an electrical socket without explaining how to do it.
Here's how:
Cut a small piece of the double-sided (foam) tape that will fit between the prongs of the plug.
Put one side of the sticky tape on the plug.
That done, peel off the back of the double-sided tape so that the exposed sticky back side will stick to the electrical socket wall plate.
Push the plug far enough (all the way) into the socket so that the double-sided tape is between the plug and the socket so that the plug becomes stuck onto the plate.
I hope that's helpful.
Good luck.
