Greetings powah welcome to the Forum.
FYI, that's "Stud" Finder.
Finding a Stud to screw the hook into is a good idea, but, not all that necessary unless your fixture is very heavy.
The other choice is to buy a "Toggle Screw".
I usually get one that's got a screw about 3" long.
Unscrew the Wood Threaded screw out from the Hook.
Take the Screw of the Toggle, and screw it in from the back side of the Toggle, leaving the Ears of the Toggle facing the threaded end the screw.
Screw the Hook onto the Toggle Screw, make a hole where you want it, and stick it through.
Tighten it up and you're set.
Have a good Day !
