I believe it's mandated in some states that receptacles must be installed sideways. Seems like change just for change.

While some industries or companies may have rules about receptacle orientation, it's not part of the NEC code book.

When you attach one of these clamps, make sure the the outlet box for the receptacle is firmly attached to the wall framing. Because retrofit outlets are often only attached to the wall board with small clips. So in an accident, the entire box could be pulled out of the wall.
