That's not good news. When putting the cover over the outlet, I think I left a 2-4mm gap between the outlet plug and the opening of the cover, since the outlet sits too deeply within the wall to be flush with the cover. I thought I could pull it forward a bit, but it still kept getting pushed back into the wall when I tried to screw it, so I had to push it all the way in before it would stop moving... But then that means the cover isn't perfect. :/

Any idea how I can keep the outlet from getting away from my screw without pushing it all the way back?

I can't tell what's going on from this maybe take a picture.

If it's what I'm guessing it is you could buy a larger sized cover and if you can get the screw to bite it should sit flush with the wall. Just go to a hardware store and look around.
