i measured it out and marked the wall. did everything perfectly I thought but the screws where I’m supposed to hang the shelf ended up a few millimeters too close to each other so the shelf can’t fit onto both at one time

need to figure out how to remove the anchors, repair the drywall, and do it again

How far off?

Try unscrewing one side half way but leaving the screws in, and starting the screws on the other side.

Or, if you fucked it up too bad, just move both holes an inch to the left or right and let the shelf hide the damage.

Anchors are probably stuck for good if you already drove screws into them. If you do manage to get them out, you're going to do more damage to the drywall - just get a pack of new ones from the hardware store.

It's fine with anchors if you're not putting more than 40lbs up there. And most of the anchors say they're good for 50-80lbs.

fair enough. just thinking about the shelves i put in for my kids. they put all kinds of shit on them. probably 20-30lb, enough so that a tough pull by a kid would rip dry wall screws out.

i have replaced all the kids bathroom fixtures fitted with drywall screws because of abuse

I did this over the weekend. Had been putting it off for exactly this reason. Made wife agree to markings and approve every step so she wouldn't freak out and blame me.

In hindsight, that probably helped me do it correctly.
