 I would say 90% of the time that's where you're going to find them for outlets in the field of a wall. But like I said, if you're not sure or you're not confident of that, which I always take the plate off too and check it. So if you check beside the box, you could stick a screwdriver there and you could see if you feel the stud, you know that's where it's at. Then a screwdriver, it's all you need.
