Is there a way to attach this so it does not come loose when I am removing cords?

Thanks.

Yes, replace it with one like third one down that has a screw to hold it
in place

Thanks Ed.

The first step is to wire the box properly. You can't connect a box
with extention cord like that. Buy a proper "power bar" and plug it in
where you have that cord plugged in (you didn't REALLY" hardwire" that
circuit with fleible extention cord, did you????

People do stuff like that and wire up outlets to 277 lighting voltage every year. But,UL laboratories expect that from the peanut gallery, so these devices and other hardware (both hardwired or plug-in) can usually take the abuse of the wrong voltage/current/ wiring combo.
(not that that should ever be the aim, though)
Clowns will do what clowns will do. Sadly it's the "engineers" (from
other disciplines) that do the stupidest stuff, ask the craziest
questions, and ignore the advice given.
