Comment on ribbed plastic anchor in brick not holding -- what screw diameter do I need?

deeper hole, longer anchor (and longer screws) to take into account the ~10mm of plaster. If the brick is also soft your drill bit may be making a larger diameter hole than intended - careful drilling will be needed.
The anchor should be tight and need to be hammered in until the lip is flush with the surface.
