The standard covers won't work. There's no holes for the screws to attach to. What do I need to get to make this work? Thanks!
What kind of cover will fit over these outlets and mudring?

These will do; 2-Gang Decora/GFCI Decora Wall Plate, Midway Size, PJ262
However, whoever installed those recep. clipped off the screw punching that the DECORA cover plates attach to, so for a DECORA cover-late to fit, you'll need to change out those recep.

Yes, that is what it looks like.

Thank you! I didn't realize the screw holes were clipped off so no wonder I couldn't fit any cover plates over it! Would any other style cover work so I don't have to change out the outlets? Or can you think of any different way of attaching a cover? Something outside the box maybe?
Those I'm familiar with are G-CLIPS but they won't work for DECORA, without using a nut behind.
You can private msg. PBJ 12, he's an electrician with vast experience and may know of something, after market.
