Attaching a metal rail onto the wall

What I've done: bought toggle bolts, butterfly anchors, and drywall anchors. drilled with the appropriate drill hole, but butterfly anchors AND toggle bolts wouldn't fit drywall anchors only fit tight when I hammer them in (not enough clearance for the wings to open) Some folks have mentioned lag bolts, but from what I've read lag bolts aren't good for mounting items on metal studs "Lag bolts into metal studs cannot produce enough retention power to hang a TV/heavy object.." I've been recommended self-tapping screws as well. But it's been difficult finding the correct solution. submitted by /u/iamazondeliver [link] [comments]
