Any that fit tight in the holes you drill.
They just becoming loose once you put the screw in
What colour is the dust when you drill. How far does the drill bit go in- if about a centimetre it may be plasterboard.
You really do need to provide more details.
Oh, and asking the same question in more than one of the sub forums, is generally frowned upon. I am not having a go at you, but it can get really messy and confusing.

Ok I’m sorry I didn’t know it was frowned upon. It seems quite hollow and dust comes out like orange
Orange or pink?
If orange it might be insulated plasterboard. Which might explain why it doesn't sound as hollow as regular plasterboard.
Is this an exterior wall or an interior wall? If an exterior wall what is the outer skin of the wall? Brick, rendered thermolite blocks, etc
Sorry it’s pink. Didn’t have my glasses on lol. It’s an interior wall. Trying to hand a new floating shelf.
How deep are you drilling? Needs at least 50mm into brickwork.Have you hit brickwork?
