The one you bought has a 1” anchor and a 1-1/4” screw. Good for hanging shit on a wall but too long for the brackets you’ve got. Go back to the store and get some #6 1” metal pan head phillips screws.

The screw is supposed to go all the way through and flair out the end. Those are the correct length screws.

This version is an alloy, not plastic, and doesn’t appear to have a hole in the tip. Trying to screw it all the way through is just going to twist the anchor and strip the drywall.

It's a soft metal. I use them all the time at work. Why would they include screws with the ancor that are to long?

Who the fuck knows. Half the reviews of the product say the screws are too long. Apparently the 1-1/4” anchor comes with a 1-1/4” screw so why does the 1” anchor also come with a 1-1/4”screw?
