I don't know for sure if the stud has a plate or not. I was hanging the cork board in to the drywall and was going to use plastic drywall anchors if it did not hold the lightweight board up well.
The area I was screwing in to was between studs at a higher level. This was on an exterior wall.
And in retrospect I used too long of a screw. I have the board hung up now using 3/4" drywall screws rather then the 1-1/4" that came with the board. The longer screws were for use with the anchors.
Just the luck of the draw I guess!
Thanks for the information.
