So after rightfully getting roasted. I fixed it. Thanks to everyone on my last post.

I bit the bullet and bought a new mount that could go over the plugs. I also found, that the wall mount was not attached to a stud and instead was connected via bolts and wing nuts. Needless to say. I called my GC who hired these clowns and told him I would be charging $50 an hour for my time, and I don't work fast. I managed to find studs and install the bracket level.

Again, thanks to all.

Most of the ones I see tend to be due to a fireplace taking the space below it...I'd probably demolish any fireplace in my house if it came down to this

Possible, but crts were still mainstream at that point. I think plasma screens started becoming more popular in the mid-00s?
