In truck bed electrical socket

I have an electrical socket inside the bed of my truck that the fifth wheel cord plugs into. It seems to come loose from vibration has anyone got a fix for that? I am thinking of mounting some eye screws and using a little bungee to hold it in better.
Thanks

Cover should be spring loaded to snap shut, plug should have a tab on top. Lip on cover locks tab in place and secures plug. If both parts are well maintained the plug should be secure.

I have a piece of #10 copper wire That I twist over the top cover to keep it from falling out.
