Fitting radiator 1/2 tile 1/2 plaster board wall

Want to replace a radiator which is currently attached just to the tiled part of the wall, with a larger radiator. The top would need to be  attached to untiled part of the wall

Can this be done? The tiles protrude by about 5mm, 

Looked for videos but can't find any.

TIA

    Just pack the bracket with a piece of ply so flush with the tiles.  What is behind the plasterboard that the radiator is actually going to be attached to ?

    I would use suitably sized nylon washers to sit behind bracket, will not rust in a damp enviroment.
