How to Hang a Two Hole Mounted Picture Straight the First Time!

What happens here

Place the old towel directly below the marked locations on the wall to collect any drywall dust. Using the cordless drill equipped with the 1/2-inch drill bit, carefully drill a hole at each of the two marked spots. Ensure the drilling is steady and straight to create clean holes. Once the holes are drilled, take a TOGGLER SNAPTOGGLE BA Heavy-Duty 3/16" Toggle Bolt. Insert the metal head of the toggle bolt through the drilled hole until it passes into the wall cavity and the wings pop open. Gently pull the plastic strap of the toggle bolt to ensure the metal wings are engaged and pulled flush against the inside surface of the drywall. While maintaining tension on the strap, slide the plastic cap along the strap until it is tight against the exterior surface of the wall. Once secure, snap off the excess plastic strap, leaving the metal part firmly anchored inside the wall and the plastic cap flush with the surface. Repeat this procedure for the second toggle bolt. Finally, remove the drill bit from the cordless drill and insert the Phillips bit to prepare for the next step.

Goal: Securely install the two heavy-duty toggle bolts into the drywall at the marked locations.
