:agree: You'll just need a larger mounting space.Does the towel rack screw into studs or is it an anchor? I don't think you'll have any success trying to mount it into the repair. You will probably need to shift the towel rack to hit drywall that hasn't be compromised by anchors and just patch the holes. Use spring-loaded butterfly type anchors. Like this:
Another option would be to install a backer board slightly wider than the towel rack and then mount the towel rack to the backer board. A simple piece of 1x4 or a piece of chair rail backer board could work. You can fasten the backer board to the studs to give you a more secure mounting surface.
