I ordered a light fixture from Wayfair. The only installation instructions are a crappy diagram that doesn’t really explain things.

The instructions mention “bolts (2) installed on the ceiling” and “self-tapping screws”. These obviously aren’t the self-tapping screws, but I’m a bit stumped how I’m even supposed to attach them to the “ceiling”… which I assume means “ceiling box”… because the heads of the bolts are smooth and just stamped with a letter “A”. There’s also a “sheath” that apparently fits over the bolt that I’ve never seen either.

That's a wedge-type wall anchor for masonry. Drill a hole, slip it in, crank it until it expands and binds in the hole.

It's not electrical.

Nor is is suitable for drywall - it will only hold in solid masonry, such as brick or concrete.
