Trying to install gas pistons on this Murphy bed I made to help with lifting up down the bed. But it keeps ripping out of the wood. Any ideas what I am doing wrong? Originally I had not planned any pistons just the stool swivel but it is too heavy for most people in the house so I wanted to make it easier for everyone to use.

The parts didn’t come with any instructions other than one end needed to be 6.5” away from the hinge point.

20 inches, 110 lbs piston.
TIA
