Hi Harvard,
I stuff mine with aluminum foil. So far that has improved things. I don't have any "hockey puck" ones left, but stuffing works on all female outlets. Make sure the power is off.

The modification was to take slip joint pliers and crimp the female ground which exposed the female electrode visible in the picture.
Note, I expected to see an electrode on each side of the female BUT only one electrode is visible.
I believe having only one electrode was the problem of not making contact in the first place.
