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.
