5. Secure the wall plate to the wall using the appropriate screws and anchors. Ensure it is firmly attached.

4.3 Attaching Brackets to TV

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues during or after installation, refer to the following common problems and solutions.

• Problem: TV is not level after installation.
  Solution: Loosen the wall plate mounting screws slightly, adjust the wall plate using the built-in level, and then retighten the screws. Alternatively, some TVs allow for minor leveling adjustments on the brackets themselves.
• Problem: TV feels unstable or loose on the mount.
  Solution: Ensure all wall plate screws are securely tightened. Verify that the TV brackets are fully seated on the wall plate. Confirm the safety screws at the bottom of the TV brackets are tightened.
