Bolting a SentrySafe to a 2nd Floor Closet

I have a SentrySafe SFW123GDC I want to bolt to the floor in the closet of a bedroom on the 2nd story of my house, in a corner of the closet.

The safe came with (2) 5" Inch Lag Bolts, (2) Masonry anchors, and washers. How would I go about mounting the safe to the floor? I know as much to drill into the safe where the indentations are and insert the bolts, but I have no idea how to attach the ground anchors or drill into the floor.

It's a carpeted closet, so I will be removing the carpet where the safe is. Under the padding appears to be plywood. I have no idea if I'm going to be running into any plumbing, or electrical. The wall that the safe touches is adjacent to the bathroom and toilet.

I can always move it to a different part of the closet if it's too close to the plumbing.

I'm not familiar with floor stud spacing since I'm drilling into wood and not just plain foundation concrete.
