Attaching 28x70 in the ceiling with 30 cm centers on a concrete ceiling.

In the last rows, I have a wardrobe that doesn't reach all the way up to the ceiling, but it is tall enough that I can't get in with the drill...

This means I have to place the first row of screws about 35 cm onto the lath.

When I press on the lath, it flexes a bit, but I'm thinking it might be okay once the gypsum board is up?

What do you think, am I forced to move the wardrobe or will I manage?

See picture for clarification. Black indicates where I can't reach to attach the lath about 35 cm.

Can't you drill slightly larger holes in the "ceiling" of the wardrobe so that you can reach to drill into the ceiling? It probably won't be noticeable or bothersome if it's a wardrobe with a door that's closed 99% of the time. But hard to say without knowing what the wardrobe looks like...

Hmm, yeah, that's one way
