I am trying to re-attach some gutter that broke loose from a concrete wall when a branch hit it. This is what the brackets look like. They have a slotted hole that means they could be attached to the wall by hanging them from a screw. That would be one way to reattach.

But when I look at a bracket that is still attached it is not hanging from a screw but is held against the wall using a kind of elongated plastic washer.

On a bracket that broke off the wall (breaking the plastic washer) what is left behind is what looks like a small screw in a wall plug. But it is not a screw, it is actually a nail that holds the metal bracket to the wall using the now missing plastic washer.

The nail sticks into a plastic wall plug. This the wall plug and nail before I pulled the nail out.

This the wall plug after I pulled the nail out.

I could effect the repair using screws with the existing wall plugs. The gutter brackets would slot onto the screw heads. But then in the future if a branch falls it will wreck the gutter instead of breaking loose as the plastic washer did.
So my question is what are these plastic washers in the 2nd photo called so I can google and buy them. I have tried googling their description to no avail and looking all over Bunnings website.
