These things usually have a minimum embed distance. That will be the minimum length you actually need in the concrete. It should say on the package what that distance is.

If your workpiece is too thick, you will either need to sink the head in farther or buy a longer anchor.

Thanks for the answer! I found earlier that it's called embedment depth but couldn't find any actual examples on google after a while. No box, they sell them standalone where I got them (and any answers from shop would be 'go with the flow' type attitude rather than to look for manufacturer answers). Spent forever making this drum stand and now stuck on what I assumed would be the simplest part :D
