That is the head of the axle, not just a plate. It delivers the drive torque to the hub. I would pull the axle out, clean and degrease the axle head and hub mating area. Look for burrs on both and flatten with a file if needed. Get a full set of the correct, new studs (not bolts), cones, washers, nuts and gasket (many used an aluminum gasket between the axle head and hub). The studs should fit tightly in the hub threads and the cones should protrude slightly from the head, so they compress gripping the studs and wedging into the axle holes when tightened. I use a light coat of number 2 Permatex on both sides of the gasket, if anything.
Damaged gasket from being loose, studs loose in the holes and poor fitting cones are reasons it doesn't hold, as well as not cleaning and resealing are likely contributing factors to your problem. Just replacing bolt does not often work in my experience with these. Properly done, one generally needs to smack the center of the axle head a few times with an 8 lb. hammer to jar the wedges loose, to pull an axle.
