Reminds me of when i used no nails to hang curtain pole supports. stuck beautifully to the plaster ,shame it pulled the plaster skim off the wall when curtains where added.
If you drill about 11 holes in the bracket and use about 25 mm screws in each they will usually form an adequate fixing.
Although each one has little strength, about 8 will hit the laths and between them constitute an adequate fix for your own domestic use.
In a more demanding application, I would use 18 mm MDF sheet securely fixed to the studding and fix the brackets to the MDF.
