Any Ideas?

I need some ideas on how to keep a nitrous switch plate in my ash tray from floating. It wont sit flat like I thought it would. The right side of it is being pushed up by the wires, that cause the lid not to close or open. I tried using a puddy to hold it down, that only worked for about 10 seconds. Anybody have an idea to hold it down and keep it easy to remove the plate?

Notch out where the wires are to allow them to sit lower. Otherwise build something that will allow you to pin it in place; IE- like how hood pins work.

Re: Any Ideas?

im assuming the wires stick straight out the back look at trying to change that configuration to some kind of an elbow and it might sit right i had similar issue with a head unit and antenna wire fought it for a month when a $6. part solved it
