Trying to hang a small lightweight mirror and the drill won’t go deep enough in the wall for me to put a plug in
it’s a solid wall and I’m using a 6mm masonry bit that the hanging kit requests , it’s a small lightweight mirror that needs 2 simple plugs
my drill needs to make a hole 35mm deep but seems to stop at about half
That depth , even though it looks the same as the rest of the wall it feels solid and is stopping the bit

What can I do?
Is my drill not powerful enough? Is my bit blunt? Or something else?
please no comments on how I missed my pencil guide,
I’m well aware .
