We ran into this many times at our dealership. First try the lag screw. Make sure you use a short one that will not go through the wall. If you can’t get the screw to hold, next but less desirable is to drill a hole all the way through the wall. Find a bolt that is just long enough to go through the wall and install dome nuts inside.
You can paint the nuts the color of the wall and they will not be very visable.
