Are toggle bolts made for drywall or plaster? The instructions said to only drill into a wooden stud or concrete. Sorry I’m a novice.

Yes they will work as long as you aren't using a full motion or cantilevered mount. If it's a fixed position or tilt bracket, toggle bolts will be more than sufficient

Ah I see, it does have more motion so I might combine what you and another reply said and toggle bolt some wood. Thanks!

use the zip toggle / snap toggle / Toggler version of toggle bolts instead of the spring-loaded ones. The Toggler version are easier to deal with.

Toggle bolts can go behind the lathe and plaster or the drywall; they expand inside the wall cavity.
