The sticky out flange bit is supposed to go behind the plasterboard
In reality however, you’ll try and push your socket back and the box will fall out and you’ll lose the little flanges down the cavity and you’ll get really angry on about your 4th attempt. Truly awful product and something I will never use.
Or ditch the 3-gang socket and fit a 2+1 plasterboard box with a double and single gang socket in it.

I'm not really sure what a 'standard accessory' is. I would have thought that a more credible explanation is that triple sockets are not a commonly used accessory, such that the market for related 'dry-lining boxes' would probably be too small to be of commercial interest to manufacturers/suppliers.Because they're not a standard accessory.
Show me where BS 1363 defines any such accessory.I'm not really sure what a 'standard accessory' is.
