I also made this discovery this weekend.

Not the same brand, but we had something very similar with a switch in the kitchen, which combined with not-perfectly-straight walls meant that the outer faceplate sat slightly proud of the switches that sat inside it. Long story short, we just left it.
Can't tell from your photo whether the plastic frame has got paint on it in place, and whether taking the front plate off and scraping that off might help? At least in giving a more uniform/clean line?

I suppose it might look better if the clear plastic bit was painted the same colour as the wall instead of cutting round it. Then stick the face plate back on. I only use Kensington stuff where there's a big difference in price or availability between them and MK, their plastic quality and mouldings are not as good.

here's a clear plastic frame around the base socket which isn't covered by the clip on frame.
I have Schneider Screwless Flat around the house and they are the same.
Very disappointing but hey.Should have stuck with the 99p Screwfix special!!!

I've bought Knightsbridge screwless sockets and switches for the whole house but not massively impressed by how the finish is - there's a clear plastic frame around the base socket which isn't covered by the clip on frame.
Does it need caulking or filling? Looks pretty shitty at the moment
