I have a Hideout 295BHS and mounted a 24" TV in the bedroom.
From experience - I very much doubt that there is a full (floor to roof) stud behind the wall. I found this out the hard way, as I tried to mount vertically higher than where the sticker was (but on the same horizontal) - and there is definitely no stud. I drilled a hole 4" above the sticker, and discovered there is only the 1/8" panel with no backer, hence why I say no wall stud like a traditional house construction.
SO, I would suggest that it's simply a smaller wood backer plate behind that sticker (I say wood as I pre-drilled mount holes, and sawdust came out. Not sure how big the backer plate is exactly, but take my learnings and apply them. I ended up mount 1.5" above the sticker center point, but I wouldn't try and go any higher than that. Ideally, make that sticker the center point of your mount
