Step 3: Measure and Mark Wall Placement
With the mounting bracket on the TV, measure the desired height and mark the positions on the wall where the bracket will be fixed. Use a level to ensure everything is aligned perfectly.
Step 4: Drill the Holes
Drill the holes into the wall where you’ve marked, ensuring they align with the studs. Insert the wall anchors (if necessary) into the holes.
Step 5: Attach the Mounting Bracket to the Wall
Now, align the mounting bracket with the drilled holes and secure it to the wall with screws. Tighten until it’s firmly in place, but avoid over-tightening.

This is where having a helper comes in handy! Carefully lift your TV and hook the mounting bracket onto the wall mount. Ensure the TV clicks into place. Once secured, double-check the level and stability.
