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.

So I went back and did the math and realised something didn't quite add up since the 6cm screw should have sufficed. Realised maybe the problem was improper installation of the toggle; removed the original one and put a new one in and realised the insulation in the wall had gotten in the way of the first one engaging properly.. problem now solved and the fixing is in there way tight.
Didn't want to get the rawlplugs because those need drilling into the wall to figure out how deep it is and getting the right size for the wall before you can use them! Did consider gripits but figured the snap toggles were cheaper and did the same thing..
Have a different question as I am slowly learning how to do things myself - I'm thinking of changing out my ceiling (pendant) lights and am I right in presuming this is a pretty straightforward DIY job? Looked up videos and seems pretty plug and play, but I am slightly apprehensive of anything involving electrics so just thought to check.

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.
