Thought that might be it - they're b*****s to fit solidly, especially
with cavity walls of some sort. Screwfix do now provide an accessory
fitting pack which is well worth looking at - item ref 56419 if you can
get on their site! Also do a google of "56419" on uk.d-i-y archives;
you'll find discussion of this pack previously.

I have bits like that with the kit, it is the bits that connect on the
otherside of the plasterboard, the side that does not get seen??. Any
ideas??

OK, so I take it you have something like Screwfix ref 21764, right? If so
do you have something like the conical threaded covers displayed which screw
down the threaded portion of the connector to bear against the wall? If so,
that's a very differerent kettle of fish to what the accessory pack (56419)
contains.... Screwfix don't explain it at all well, but in 56419, under the
chrome cover are large metal plates with holes, which can be mounted rigidly
on the wall using cavity fixing screws etc. Works quite well. I could send
you a scan of the instructions if you want which is probably easiest to
explain as it has pictures - email me.

I've never yet come across or heard about anything intended to fit on the
hidden side of the plasterboard; which is bizarre IMHO. If you have good
access to the back (eg if the other side of the cavity wall has yet to be
fitted) then a large-ish (to spread the load) plate of timber wedged between
the copper pipework and the plasterboard is probably your easiest and best
bet.
