The hydrorail is not one of those. I've installed dozens of them and they have a lot of adjustability built into their written instructions.. and you can fudge things a bit too if you're creative. I install enough of the Kohler Hydrorails that I have a few of the odd sized nipples in stock.

I travel for a living. I just stayed in a hotel that coincidentally has Kohler HydroRail fixtures installed.
The pictures illustrate the importance of using the correct type of wall anchors. It was like this when I checked-in.

Funny what happens when you own a Thing, you see that Thing everywhere.
When I isntall these, I have plywood flush with the face of the studs that I can drill regular short (enuf) screws into rather than anchors. But retrofitting, you're going to be at the mercy of whatever.. I generally can find backing that the drop ear is attached to with some 4" screws.
My last choice is to drill for toggles.

I'm traveling but the girlfriend sent this pic; the Super installed the HydroRail today and apparently, had no issues.
And thanks for identifying the valve body as the Atrio. That made it much easier to determine we needed a 47050000 cartridge. Replacing the cartridge, as expected, has resolved the temp control issue.
