ᐅ Ducts for the mechanical ventilation system inside a drywall partition...

Our mechanical ventilation system and its ductwork have already been installed. The ducts are located on the ceiling of the ground floor (within the insulation under the upper floor screed). Naturally, the ducts also run vertically inside the drywall partitions, where the filter will be installed.
What is the best way to prevent accidentally hitting one of these ducts later with a nail or wall plug?
Should we measure and mark the distances now?
Kind regards,
Yvonne

The smaller ones (I’m not exactly sure what they’re called) that you can simply drill in with a cordless screwdriver and then insert the screws (I believe these are sufficient for 20kg (44 lbs) per anchor).
And then the larger ones that you pinch with pliers (for higher loads).
