Try setting both output result rects to the expanded_rect. Also if you want you can expand the request rect to recapture any offscreen pixels, not sure if that is relevant to the plugin you are making.

You can expand the boundaries in frame setup if you're not using smartFX, or by increasing the output rectangle in PreRender when using smartFX.
