You can either,

Drill and lag bolt the bracket to studs

Or

Toggle bolt the bracket to sheetrock

I prefer to lag bolt, but if you need a precise measurement 3/8 toggle bolts will be more than effective.

Dont the mounts come with bolts?

It's for that same reason that I always hang my TVs on wooden support studs, and never on drywall. Tap on the wall using your knuckles to locate both studs to mount the TV bracket.

Also, besides a drill, you'll need a mini-level, (sSometimes the brackets already come ingrained with one which is a godsend.) 5/16 hex screws, and a tape measure to see how high you want it mounted.

If your walls are sheetrocked then it must be on wooden studs. They're usually between 16 or 24 inches from each other (depending on the builder).

yeah if you dont have studs you have some structural issues to deal with

i always mount to studs as well. for a non-telescoping/fully artriculating mount, it's an easy job.

normally with a 16-24" stud setup you mount to the nearest studs desired, and the mount itself will let you slide the tv to one side or the other to some extent

i mounted mine around a hole i cut in the wall to run cables behind and moved the tv so the cables could come out

I'm hoping that you purchased the 65 lbs. capacity ones.

Don't screw them near already existant holes since because it wont hold due the weakened integrity of the drywall.

Please DO NOT use raw plugs to mount your TV.

Please use toggle bolts if you are using sheetrock as the support.

Your tv is going to fall off the wall at some point if they're already weakening. Can you post a picture of your wall? I've done this many times at work and it's important to do it right
