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!

You can get rawlplugs that have plastic fins down the side that should do the job. You can also get cheap ones that will collapse inwards if you hammer one that is too big into the hole. The trad way is to use wooden dowel but this can go wrong if it gets damp, which is why most plugs are plastic these days. When all else fails drill the hole in the bracket bigger.
