What happens in this clip

At the marked locations on the wall, install drywall anchors. First, use the electric drill to create pilot holes. Then, manually screw in the drywall anchors until they are flush with the wall surface. These anchors will provide a secure point for the screws that hold the shelf brackets to the wall, especially when working with drywall.

Goal: Create secure mounting points for the shelf brackets on the wall
