Default Crazy floating shelf

I was asked to fit a set of three floating shelves someone had
bought

Very peculiar fitting which seem to have a small expanding metal bit
that goes in the hole in the wall then you screw a threaded rod into
that and somehow then put the shelf on the threaded rod - only
problem is the rod is a VERY tight fit in the hole in the shelf and
MIGHT screw in but certainly wouldn't push in


You may find that while the threaded rod feels like a very tight fit
when you try to push it in by hand, once its firmly embedded in the
wall, and you can now push on the shelf itself to drive it onto the rod,
it might go in somewhat more easily.
