OK. So I didnt use the right rawlplug first time around and the screws/
plugs have pulled out the hole. Holes are big enough to put your
finger in.
What should I do now (got correct plugs now)?
First, what sort of wall construction is this? Is it plasterboard dry
lining (ie, attached to brickwork or blocks, and therefore with solid
material beneath) or is this a hollow stud partition?
There are different solutions depending on what you've got, but one
thing for sure is that plasterboard on its own is way inadequate to
support the weight of a TV, regardless of what rawlplugs you use (as I
suspect you've discovered).

Yup. He's right. This is where you remove enough plasterboard to find
something solid, attach some wood to it, and put the plasterboard back
and re-skim and repaint..then think about mounting the bracket..
