Is there any reason you chose brackets instead of joist hangers to attach the studs? With joist hangers, you won't have issues with where the force is applied to the wall, and they provide a hidden mounting since they don't stick out below the studs.

A joist hanger won't fit on the left side, plus I think it looks nicer with brackets since one wing of the joist hanger will show/stick out.
I had placed a small spacer next to the wall. The spacer doesn't necessarily have to be a nail plate; the essential thing is that you raise the rule a few mm from the bracket.
Now it's done!
It creaked uncomfortably in the construction when I loosened the screws slightly, at least on the right side. There's some side pressure. I discovered this when I unscrewed the screw in the small metal piece at the top. Then the upper part of the post moved 3-4mm sideways. Something to worry about?
Afterwards, I screwed the screw back in, but should I have done that? Since the post is now 1-2mm higher, the screw hole is also that much higher. Shouldn't the screw then push the post down toward the bracket? What do you think?
Here are the pictures:
The top angle bracket. The screw went in without a problem, even though the screw hole was 1mm higher. Unnecessary downward force on the post?
Now it floats, at least. I can fit a paper without issue on the far end of the bracket!
