Let's hear it. No project too big or too small.

Ideally, you'd want it anchored into a stud.

Ideally yes.. This is a previous owners mistake I'm fixing. My options here are: reattach back using another drywall anchor (not my preferred option). Anchor one side into a stud and if the other side reaches it the other side into another stud and patch the holes or glue it back in place (again not ideal). I'm leaning towards option B here.
