First, don't put the rack in the same holes. If you've used wall anchors and they're still pulling out, you need to use molly bolts that butterflys out behind the sheetrock. Good luck.

Did you use sheetrock anchors when hanging it? They always work for me. They spread behind the drywall as you put the screw in.
At any hardware store, you can find anchors that look like a big screw. These are much better than the wing styles of anchors. Here's a link to show you what they look like. I really like these sooo much better! https://m.lowes.com/pd/E-Z-Ancor-6-Pack-1-1-4-in-x-1-2-in-Standard-Drywall-Anchor/1098793?cm_mmc=SCE_PLA-_-ToolsAndHardware-_-HollowWallAnchors-_-1098793:E-Z_Ancor&CAWELAID=&kpid=1098793&CAGPSPN=pla&store_code=2697&k_clickID=6df756b3-f01a-41f4-a5c6-5985cf04c38c&gclid=CjwKCAjwjZjZBRAZEiwAPeLSK8FwFjs154B-g8uvtCJZvP7anvLC4FGXC7oO3F_AW0a9QVIq6qmQYBoCts8QAvD_BwE
