What’s the proper way to connect the hot wires?
I am not an electrician. I was in the process of changing the receptacle in my home (DIY project) and stumbled upon here where there are two black wires (one pushed-in) and the other screwed-in) and then there is another red wire that’s also pushed-in. I know that backstabbing is not the proper way to wire a receptacle (I didn’t do it - it was done by some electrician) and would need your help on how to properly connect these 3 hot wires here without using backstabbing method.
