Hercules Wall Hanger: Top Drywall Anchor Loose

[Junk Yard Dog]

Did all the research and have had my electrics hung for 4 years. Never had a problem NOT using drywall hangers, but I have one spot on the wall (all spaced out evenly, btw) and the top screw anchor is loose and thus the hanger is loose a bit.

The anchor is not coming out, but I don't want to risk it. What say you guys? 1) It's OK, because the anchor, while loose, is not coming out, or 2) patch it up, find a new spot, and ensure the pre-drilled hole is tighter?

See picture below of the loose top anchor. I'm trying to post pictures via photobucket, but it ain't working.

Help!

Shouldn't this be posted in the 'Tech Corner' forum?

If you fix it, put a small piece of wall board or wood that is larger than the hole behind that hole, then when you tighten the anchor it will use the surface area for support assuming the whole works has not been crumbled. Another alternative is to find a stud and remount it on that, then its going nowhere.
