Hello

Is there any kind soul who knows the best way to get the drywall screw to stay put?

It keeps coming off the rail.

Is there any special glue, expander? That can be purchased?

Thanks in advance.

Insert a new metal expander/molly plug. The existing one does not seem to have expanded as intended.

You need a special plier for the project.

If this does not work, you can try inserting a wooden plug of suitable size, along with appropriate glue.

Once this has set, drill a hole of suitable size and then attach the rail with a screw.
