Clean the slits on both sides of the protector so the tab can move (bend) freely.
How I Designed This
Started from an europlug specification drawing. The tolerances allowed are quite large so I designed the cap with a springy tab on each side. This provides the required friction for the cap to stay in place while allowing it to have a slightly wider enclosure necessary to fit all plugs. Sides of the cap have a slight recess for better grip when removing it.
