Backsplash Outlet issues

[BKCM1982X]

Hi new to the forum and I have a question.
We are in the middle of a kitchen remodel and we hit a snag today. We have a half wall that on the kitchen side we have 2 outlets that are horizontally mounted to fit below the bar top. Our issue is that when we installed the base cabinets and went to install the counter tops the 2 outlets cover plates sit flush on the counter top. is there a code against this? The circuit is GFCI protected. We are just trying to avoid having to uninstall the cabinets and cut open a finish wall if possible. My wife is ok with them touching the counter top just want to make sure its ok. Thank you

If I have misjudged the situation, if for example this project is related to your work, then send me a Private Message. If you can show me that I am wrong, and that you are a licensed electrician (or at least a licensed apprentice), then I will reopen your post, and offer an apology for the delay and inconvenience.

On the other hand, it also sounds like you are not in fact performing electrical work, just cabinet installation with existing electrical. If that is the case, PM me.
