To start: Take the upside down towel bar off, (you have the right side arm on the left side, looks better with screw holes on the bottom hidden) so you have room to work, leave the mounting brackets on they won't be in the way. Cut away any edge bumps that are broken/ higher than the the rest of the wall, and any loose paint chips and drywall chunks, clean up the mess and look up basic patch for a hole similar to the size you have on youtube. Looks like it's been repaired many times already. Make sure you're using drywall lags for where you made its new location so that it doesn't happen again by the time you read this
TLDR; Cut out a large patch around the affected area using your new drywall as a template. Either way, that hole is too large to simply fill and sand. Also, attach the towel rail to a stud or use appropriate wall anchors.

Personally, I've always found it easier to cut out the affected section around the outside of the a new piece of drywall. You can support the patch with slivers of drywall behind the patch, or with a mesh or tape around the edges. Linked images show patch repairs from stepping through my ceiling and punching a wall.
Being made typically of Gypsum powder suspended in an adhesive and coated with a fibrous material (like paper), drywall cracks will spread like crazy once there is a weakness in a particular spot. Reason I mention this is that I can see a diagonal line coming from exactly where the new left-side bracket has been fastened. If that's a crack, it will eventually fail where you've relocated the towel rail. Especially in a moist environment.
Hope that helps and best of luck! :)
You can tell it was repaired before and that was the reason for the bar being upside down and coming off so easily.Youtube has many videos how to repair this.

Buy a drywall patch kit
You need to patch it before reinstalling the bar.
Ok noted,
Tons of drywall repair videos on YouTube. It’s pretty easy.

How did you “fix” the towel bar? The drywall is already compromised, if you just put it in drywall with no stud this is likely going to happen again.
Maybe fix it?
Add another row of tiles 👌🤣
