Standoffs. There's lots of different kinds.

Probably the easiest is to slice a small chunk of 2x4 off the end of a board and stick it between that thing and the wall when you're mounting it.

But it's all the same in the end, a rigid piece of something that goes between the wall the thing and the mounting screw goes through it.

Have you ever hung a tv mount? These come with all kinds of hardware so that no matter the wall material you've got a hardware to hang it.

Those hardware packs also come with all kinds of standoffs. Usually black plastic disks that would be ideal for this use case.

I used to hoard all of that hardware but I think I turned over a new leaf and started throwing it away. I’ll have to dig around and see if I have anything.
