What size screw should I use with these anchors?

Troubleshooting
Anchor does not expand properly.
Ensure you are using the correct wall anchor setting tool designed for this type of anchor. Verify the hole diameter is correct for the anchor size. Check that the anchor is fully inserted before using the tool.
Anchor feels loose after installation.
The hole may be too large for the anchor, or the wall material might be too brittle. Ensure the setting tool was used correctly to expand the anchor fully behind the plasterboard.
Screw does not grip the anchor.
Confirm you are using an M5 screw. Ensure the anchor has been fully set and the screw is threaded correctly into the anchor's internal thread.
