Can I use this hanger on plaster walls?

Troubleshooting
Hanger feels loose on the wall.
Ensure the Walldog fasteners are fully driven into the wall and are gripping securely. If the wall material is compromised, you may need to use a different mounting solution.
Frame is not hanging level.
Double-check that the bracket itself was installed perfectly level using its built-in bubble level. Ensure the frame is properly seated on the bracket.
Walldog fastener will not go in.
Check for obstructions behind the drywall (e.g., electrical wires, pipes). If encountered, choose a different mounting location or consult a professional.
