Arghhh this is annoying me so much, help!

I have other multi plugs affixed to smooth walls fine with this Mammoth tape thing (I prefer them off the floor), but in one room which is bare brick wall the tape didn't work as the bricks do not uniformly line up against the multi plug when it lies against it. So then I tried foam padded double sided tape, stacking them variably to even out the shorter dips of bricks, that also didn't work, think the plug was too heavy for that and it fell off later that day.

I could get/fashion some kind of saddle to then drill and screw the plug into the wall but for a cleaner look I was wondering if anyone knew of some kind of paste I could get that would work like plaster/glue that would stick plastic to an uneven brick wall? Hell, any other suggestions are welcome too :)
 
I have a tube of no more nails I can try... Was wondering if there was anything else stronger and didn't want to waste the whole tube in case it didn't work.
 
I did it once, opened the multiplug, made holes from the inside of the back cover, and screwed it to the wall. It sort of clipped open, so I had to be careful not to break the clips though.

Haha, I've just stripped off all the tapes that was left on the wall, I'm staring at the plug and wall with my bottle of No More Nails and that exact idea just struck me when I decided to check in to see if there were more suggestions.

Most of the bigger multi-plugs (e.g. with 5 outlets) have mounting holes. A 6mm plug & screw should do the job.
