Why can I only find one stud in a wall?
Wall is 85 cm
(Or 33 inches)
Stud is 24 inches from door frame.

I think I can answer this.
From wall to doo frame is 36 inches.
First stud is 12 inches from wall. Second will be covered up by door frame right?

Vertical fray line is first stud.
Holes are fucked plasterboard

What are using to find the studs?

As a rule they should be laid out at 16" or 400mm centre to centre.

There are some very effective plasterboard fixings available these days. These are particularly good and are available from the usual suspects.

Stud finder and then a couple of rare earth magnets that have stuck to a nail in the stud.

Stud finder makes noises by the door frame but couldn't find stud with drill.

Shelves above the fucked holes clearly aren't in a stud. Barely any mass in them though.
