Depth was the issue, not overlap. the box for the outlet being recessed behind the drywall means the outlet needs to sit on top of the drywall for the cover plate to work.
 
You could use extentions for that
Shortest one I've seen is 1/2" when I need about 3/16". I could have also put spacers between the outlet tab and box, but fixing the drywall was faster than driving to the store for more stuff. It is a two hour round trip minimum to run into town from where I live.
