Disappointment for Leviton: Terrible new design

They redesigned these. And not for the better. The old type had a center screw and the connectors were widely spaced at each corner. This new design is tightly coupled and very difficult to connect when sitting at baseboard level of the floor with the cable stapled together. I don't have very big hands but I don't understand how someone with big hands can get there. The two places where the screws go on the back are covered with pre-installed wires. I wanted to screw it on but was afraid of breaking the wires or pinching them with screws. So I'm relying on the sticky backing to hold it in place, but I'm not very sure about that. Leviton is my favorite electronics brand. However, this is a fiasco. The reason I gave three stars is because they are hard to find and at least carry something. But a different design would be much better. Why change something that works so well?
