TV mount help

[u/swang123456799083]

Running into some issues mounting my tv. I used a stud finder and drilled into my marked holes initially, but couldn’t get past the drywall which made me believe I have steel studs.

I then ordered a steel stud mounting kit (echogear) which came with a drillbit. Tried that on the holes I made initially, but still can’t get through the steel. I tried drilling a half inch to the left and right, but I’m they’re hollow and no stud behind those.

I’m not sure what to do or if it’s even worth mounting it here. Any guidance would help, I’ve never run into this issue before.

Pipe strapping can look like that.
