Nuts.
Step 8: Mount the Wall Plate Assembly; Wood Stud, Brick, Solid Concrete, and Concrete Block mounting options are provided.

Wood Stud Mounting:
CAUTION: Do not overtighten the Lag Bolts (K). Tighten
the Lag Bolts only until the lag Bolt Washer (L) is pulled
firmly against the Wall Plate Assembly (A).
NOTE: The Wall Plate Assembly (A) must be mounted
on two or three studs at least 12″ [304.8 mm] apart,
and three studs are recommended for televisions over
125 lbs [56.7 Kg].
Use a high quality stud sensor to locate two or three adjacent
studs; then, using the Wall Plate Assembly ( A), as a template,
mark a location at each of the studs using the top row of slots
on the Wall Plate Assembly and the corresponding slot in the
bottom row.
Pre-drill a 2.5″ [63.5 mm] deep into the studs, using a 3/16″
drill bit. Place the Wall Plate Assembly ( A) with its flat surface
against the wall and the Flange Nuts toward the top; then
secure the Wall Plate Assembly using the Lag Bolts ( K) and
Lag Bolt Washers ( L) as shown in Diagram 8A.
Brick, Solid Concrete, and Concrete Block Mounting:
Use the Wall Plate Assembly ( A) as a template to mark six
locations on the wall. Three in the top row of slots and three
more directly below in the bottom row of slots.
CAUTION: Never drill into the mortar between the
blocks.
Carefully pre-drill six 2.5″ [63.5 mm] deep holes with a 1/2″
masonry bit.
Insert a Concrete Anchor ( M) into each pre-drilled hole so it
is flush with the concrete, brick, or concrete block surface,
even if there is a layer of drywall or other material in front of
the surface.
Place the Wall Plate Assembly ( A) with its flat surface against
the wall and the Flange Nuts toward the top; then, attach the
Wall Plate Assembly to the wall using the six Lag Bolts ( K)
and Lag Bolt Washers ( L) as shown in Diagram 8B.
