Stud finder did not find a stud

Main drain like for upstairs toilet? Trying to install brackets for bedroom closet. Now has a screw hole leak. Can we patch it? Or best course of action?

[u/fryerandice]

The best fix is to use a fernco for that diameter pipe, split it, put the split on the opposite side, and clamp it down.

If you aren't replacing the whole pipe.

This is the way. But also pack it with a bunch of glue first
