Now that the togglers are in place and Baby Groot is supervising 👶🌳, it’s time to insert the bolts and tighten everything down.
- Slide washers onto the bolts first (keeps the bolt head from slipping through the oversized holes in the mount)
- Thread each bolt by hand a few turns so the metal toggle grabs securely behind the drywall
- **Important:** Make sure the toggle has “grabbed” the back side of the drywall before you put any real pressure with the drill — otherwise the whole toggle can get pushed into the wall cavity and you’re done for!
- Tighten everything down snug (don’t go Hulk-mode and strip the toggles)
- Check level one last time
Pro tip: Toss the tiny bubble level that came with the mount — grab a 12" or 3-foot level instead for real accuracy. Kyle got it perfect on the first shot without even realizing it!
Mount is rock-solid and ready for the TV. Great job!
