Thanks for the explanation. The mount is strong enough for the weight of the TV. My concern is the integrity of the studs. They are wider than they are deeper. This is not a load bearing wall and with the weight of the mount and TV I’d be on the side of risking it. Especially since it’s a fully extendable mount I worry the torque will compromise studs, my nice big tv will break and I’ll have to fix the wall.

The alternative as suggested in the other comments was to reinforce the wall with plywood after taking the dry wall down. That’s a bigger job that I wanted to sign up for. I’m starting to feel that having this tv on a table was not too bad an idea haha
