    I've used 6 of this plasterboard anchors to hang a 55 inch TV on plasterboard wall(2 sheets).
    I's almost an year and holding strong. I think the TV has around 18kg, but the wall bracket is fixed.

    I'd only trust expandable anchors, such as these https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B082Y7H5PZ/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_XJJX3Z1439A28ZR3TV3Z or similar.
    You can get them in all woodies like shops.

    Although, I'd be worried about the extendable arm's attachment point. Too much weight-bearing in such a small area. it might just snap the board off. Can you find out where the studs are? Maybe try to align with them, that would defo work well and almost any wall plug fixings would work.

    I have that setting tool and it's excellent for use with those anchors - if you try to set them just using just a screwdriver, they have a tendency to spin in the plaster, grinding an even bigger hole..

    I used them to put up a load of bookshelves in my kids rooms (though it should be noted, the bookshelves aren't putting anything like as much pulling strain on the plasterboard as an extended TV mount would)
