First and foremost, I am completely new to the forum and haven't really found the right place for the thread, I apologize if it ends up completely wrong.
To my question,
I live in an apartment (built in 2016 if it matters) and in one of the bedrooms, I am going to drill 4 holes to anchor a wardrobe. I used a stud detector and there are no electrical wires through the wall, but it detects metal.
The wall in question is far from wet rooms (kitchen/bathroom) and behind the wall, there is no other apartment; it leads directly to the courtyard.
All water pipes going to the radiators are surface-mounted, and there is no radiator on the wall I’m going to drill into.
I received the floor plan from PEAB earlier and cannot see that there should be any electrical or water pipes through this wall, but I wonder what the stud detector is picking up, could it be rebar or something similar?
I get a detection every 10 cm for about 7 cm and then a "dead space."
Attaching pictures from the floor plan, the red circled area is where I plan to drill (about 4 cm), the section to the right labeled 'electric' I will not touch.
What do you knowledgeable people think, should there be any danger?
Thank you very much in advance

It is most likely the reinforcement that the stud detector is reacting to.
