It’s my first house and I was hesitant to drill holes in it, but things came out okay.
Not only is the faceplate level, but it’s also pretty much level with the existing electric outlet faceplate!

I appreciate that you have all the screw heads lined up.
This is my next weekend’s project after I accidentally ordered copper clad aluminum cable the first time. Also my first house; But it’s 120 years old and been molested by plenty of people before me. So I don’t mind drilling holes.
I’m probably on some spectrum because literally every outlet in my house has the screws aligned. It helps that we painted before we moved in so all the covers had to come down in preparation.
I’m slowly realizing that this isn’t a rental and it’s okay to do permanent things like drilling holes and replacing bathroom vents.
I was going to comment that what my first house taught me that all my projects had to be up to code …eventually… in order to sell the place. However anyone who’s aligning their faceplate screws is probably dull enough to do it right the first time.
Also yay for hardwire Ethernet
It looks nice when they’re aligned though.
I would have gone with internal screwing and a caulked round faceplate though to save me the trouble of alignment. Aligning stresses me out
