Yea but those clips have a hole in them for a screw. Yes you’re right about one thing I did use a 1/4” lag bolts & anything you hang on the wall except a picture you have to drill a pilot hole because no screw will penetrate these metal studs. So how are saying how to mount any kind of shelving? It’s got to be fastened to the wall somehow!
