Wall mounting - fixing confusion

This weekend i will be wallmounting my Pionerr PDP436FDE. i have the matching pioneer bracket.

The wall inquestion tht it is going to be mounted on is a Plasterboard / Breezeblock combination.

The gap between the back of the plasterboard is no more than 20mm in the three test spots i have cut.

The plasterboard is 15mm thick, the total clearence from the block is 35mm approximately.

My plan was to use 100mm frame screws (or greater if required) and where the screw does not go through the "Dab" use grip fill. The screws would be fush the the plasterboard obviously leaving roughly 35mm of screw from the block protruding.

Is this right or do i have the wrong end of the stick.

Just make sure the plugs are gripping tightly

I used M8x100mm anchor bolts for the top two holes and 100mm frame screws for the remaining four holes. The anchor bolts give that little extra bit of reassurance.
