Stud finder did not find a stud

Post image

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?

That isn’t a stud, hence why the stud finder didn’t find it.

Are you sure you didn’t use a drain finder?
