You could use heavy duty drywall ancors. That way you don't have to drill in the studs. It would be easy to piece the drywall using an awl (or something similar) not to cut the wire and then extend your hole without using a powerdrill.
Some of those ancor can be crazy strong. I got an hanging desk setup with some of those.
This would be an example:
If you absolutely have to use drywall anchors, and I'm not sure if you should in this case, but you need something that will hold up, you want Toggler Snaptoggle anchors. https://www.amazon.com/TOGGLER-SNAPTOGGLE-Drywall-Included-Fastener/dp/B07FMCHQ8W/
They have different sizes, and when Project Farm tested them they performed like no others. I've used them for a few things and they are great. They're expensive compared to the alternatives, but it's not like you need hundreds of them so the cost is irrelevant.
Came to say use toggle bolts as well. I worked at a hospital and had to remount countless items ripped out of walls and toggles can re-use an existing hole better than upsizing plastic anchors. As always though, studs are best when available. For 1/4" toggles usually you have to drill a 1/2" hole. They hold a lot of weight for not touching a stud. There's also zip toggles which are awesome. I've used both extensively and prefer zip toggles over the normal ones myself.

This is going to be superior to any drywall anchor. This would actually be able to carry a lot of weight frankly. I know there are people in this thread saying not to do anything heavy, but honestly, this would likely be able to carry several hundred pounds.
Think about it. If this can carry 265 pounds, then what you have there can carry that and more.
That said, why not cut two more 2x's to length between those studs and get those pieces to be carried by the actual studs?
You really want to use these "Wall Anchors" They're meant for "Active load" (ware load can be added and removed frequently.) But I can't tell if the screw on the back of the wood can be removed
Sorry, im not trying to be rude but I truly loth those "Wall Anchors," because of how they work and how they're marketed to be the absolute best thing ever when they're absolute garbage. They have their place for light static loads like pictures and decorating, that will only move once in a blue moon. Using them for coat racks was a horrifying mistake. Every time you put something on the hooks it wiggles little by little. This wares out the drywall and over time this will happen.
If the screw on the back isn't removable, you will have to mount them on a piece of wood to prevent this from happening again. looks like you'll need at least 1" thick.

Try using these instead for better support and so the anchor can crab on to drywall that has more support.

Blocking would be more secure and that is what I would do. If you can find the snap toggles, I would trust them, but I would not trust any other drywall anchor.

The bottom line is they are too heavy to half-ass the hanging; plan to drill holes. Put eye hooks in your frames and hang the panels from the drywall of the ceiling. “Toggle bolts” are the right choice if you can’t/prefer not to try and find the joists. I like these:
Assuming you're talking about plastic anchors, I don't trust any of those ratings.
Anchors like this can trivially hold 8 pounds, but it really depends on the quality and condition of your drywall.

Something like this in 316 Stainless, you can swap the length of the bolts as needed
Regarding items 3 and 4.
If the builder was any good they would have installed wood blocking during framing so there is something solid to screw the towel bars into. Sounds like they didn't.
The paper/cardboard you're seeing is the paper covering on the drywall that ripped when the towel bar pulled out. That's normal.
Get some toggle bolts like these to hand your towel bars
These are the best anchors to use with metal studs. The metal studs will be fine to carry that weight but don't use a full motion bracket. Metal studs are much weaker than wood.
> the wall where my tv is at doesn't have any studs
what kind of wall is this that it doesn't have studs? even non-load bearing walls have studs.
and you're probably not going to find a wall mount that meets your requirements. that just doesn't exist. you'd probably be fine using toggle bolts to anchor the mount to the drywall (assuming your wall has drywall?).

Problem 1# toggler SNAPtoggle

65" is a pretty large TV, but if it's not a mount that is doing a bunch of moving/tilting and is stationary, then two bolts in the stud on top 2 SNAPtoggles on the bottom will be fine. I have hung 52" and below on just the toggle bolts before.
Problem #2. You're electrical box looks complicated. I just run the cables through a cutout in the wall to the plug below. The bracket below was very easy to install and worked very well.

You need toggle bolts. I prefer snap toggles: https://www.amazon.ca/TOGGLER-SNAPTOGGLE-Drywall-Included-Fastener/dp/B07FMCHQ8W

100 year old home. Would these work for the two options of into stucco and into studs? My studfinder doesn't work at all with my stucco so I may have to break a little wall to find the studs. If it's too far away from where I want it, I may just go with the toggler bolts. I have anchors at home that are rated for 50lb but I heard toggler bolts are much better; is that accurate?
​
I can't find regular Philips with lag screws; only star and don't have a star bit unless I buy them too
I've wall mounted heavy desks, both straight and corner, using heavy duty L-brackets. The ones I used were sourced from KitchenSource.
Obviously, you'll want to screw them into studs, but if the placement is awkward, you can also use Toggler Snaptoggles which are extremely strong (rated to 265lbs each in 1/2" drywall) so long as your drywall is in good shape.
I did a 47"x47" corner desk (modeled after the Ikea Linmon corner desk) made from dual layer 3/4" maple plywood using those L-brackets and Snaptoggles into drywall alone, and it was solid as a rock. (I did add a pair of small 6" L-brackets in the back corner just for added stability during assembly.)

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FMCHQ8W - has nearly 600 reviews with 85% giving it 5 stars and the low reviews are not complaints about it failing to hold 265lbs.
That's ideal but not always an option especially if you want it centered. zip toggles work great in drywall, I've hung 80 inch displays over escalators with them each
