More DIY advice sought

In masonery, is there anything you can do if the hole is too big for the rawlplug? I tried using a bigger rawlplug but then I find the screw is too small to make it expand properly, and I can't use a bigger screw because it won't fit through the hole in the bracket we're using for these blinds. I have this idea that if only it would stay put and not spin or push in then everything would be fine, which leads me to imagine things like dipping it in Polyfilla before shoving it in the wall, but that's probably not wise in real life. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Get a length of wooden dowel to fill the hole along with some wood glue or Araldite, any bonding glue (i.e. not superglue or Airfix glue) will do the job usually. Polyfilla might work too. Leave it for a few hours to dry/set then drill a new hole the right size for the Rawlplug into the dowel.
