So, we have a dedicated socket for the A/C, which looks like a plain

socket?

I've tried looking online and have been having a very hard time
trying to figure out (1) whether such an adapter (horizontal prong
female to vertical prong male) exists, and (2) how even to express
this idea in a way that I could get anything meaningful from Amazon
or whatever.

Unfortunately it's an apartment with absent landlords, so I can't
easily change the socket. I'm fairly sure there must be an adapter of
this type somewhere, but I can't seem to find it...

Anyway, any pointers anyone has would be greatly appreciated!

Sounds like you either have a NEMA 240v 2-15R receptacle or an
improperly wired 120v 1-15R receptacle.


Maybe a NEMA 240v 2-30R ?
