"Mounting" the heavy side takes a bit of thought. Basically you need to mount the brackets so there are two of them 16 inchs apart on center.. (For studs). The idiots that built the TV made the holes 8 inchs apart.. Convenient that a typical wall mount is 75-200$ in the US. I hate convenient, so I used a piece of Thick plexy called TUFAC to turn the 8inchs to 16 then mounted my bracket to the Plexy. The given scenario changes for whatever you decide to mount however so my mission 2 might be different then your mission 2.
But the bracket is pretty easy to mount to just about anything.. Except flesh....
The wall mount goes into the stud...With screws.
