If you have decent hearing, you can knuckle tap the ceiling and find the studs. Or, you can blue light the ceiling and look for the crests and valleys. The first method is better, obviously

Building on this idea.

You have some partial results with your stud finder.

Knock around and see if you can hear where it is very solid. Combine those finding with the stud finder and magnet results. You'll find somewhere that you are 90% confident in.

Then, drill a tiny test hole and see if the drill is still getting resistance past 1/2" depth and comes out with some wood on it.

You can do this! I believe in you!
