It is unusual in domestic property to have metal (steel) as the framing behind the plasterboard. That is most possible in only the lat 10 or less years.

You will always have a challenge securing through the plasterboard into the frame (timber stud or steel). It is never easy to identify exactly where these are and in turn to fix through them. Youd could make a lot of pilot holes. A batten may be a nice idea to spread the load. Realistically get good quality plasterboard fixings for somethin that only need support it's own weight, then drill and fix.
