Might call for some of that geometry you thought you'd never use, though. Like Rogelio says, If you cut the same 45 degree angle top and bottom it will work.

As far as the angles for it, if I remember correctly, I cut a likely angle and used it for the bottom. I then marked the upper angle against the 2x4 on the bracket. I hope that makes sense.
