I've found these things good for that kind of thing, in part because there's a very big range of sizes so you can almost always get something to fit.

I'm trying to anchor a rack into drywall that is about 1.5cm thick at the anchoring point. I've tried to use snap toggles because it's pretty weighty, but have run into an issue in that the supplied 5.5cm screws can't seem to engage on the toggle on the other side of the drywall. I think it's because the drywall itself is 1.5in (I think) deep, and the toggle has a little 0.5cm space between where it anchors on the wall and the actual screw point. It's odd however that I tried buying a 6cm screw but still no bueno.
Anyone come across this problem before? Seems like a bit of a design flaw to have fixings shorter than necessary for 1.5in drywall+item to be affixed considering a M6*6.5 screw is a bit niche to have lying around.
