Secure the plate with neighboring screws, or decent gaffer's tape.
I have two vintage 7" Panasonic video monitors with a rectangular version of that round-pin power connector. And fortunately, two power cables to match.

Nope, I found and purchased the proper cord. I'm something of a stickler for originality. Otherwise I probably would have swapped out the connector with an ordinary IEC connector.
