Troubleshooting

The plug spins in the hole during screw insertion.

Ensure the hole is the correct size. If necessary, slightly increase the hole diameter. Try a different screw. Make sure that the plug is fully inserted.

The screw doesn't tighten.

Check that you are using the correct screw length. Make sure that the screw is compatible with the plug. Check if the screw head is correct for the plug. The Brown plugs need a 4-6mm head

The item feels unstable after tightening.

Ensure you have used the correct screw size. The load might be too heavy for the base material, or the hole might be damaged. Consider using a different type of fixing for heavier loads or less stable materials.
