i think , for a while , a brass screw was regulation for a while , but plaster will hold it ok , but a screw or even two, will hold it steady while plaster is being added and setting.

plaster will normally hold a backbox ok, mix the plaster to the constituancy of double cream, spread a good thickness on the back of the box and press into place.
