Default Bath's pedestal sink

I remodeled my small half-bath. *I received a hand-me-down pedestal

The plumber told me the sink doesn't have a set of "brackets" to tie
the sink to the wall (the sink will sit on top of its stand). *He said
each sink comes with is "unique" brackets and I need to get a new set
of sink/stand because he can't use the ones I have.

Is that true? *I don't want to spend over one hundred of dollars to
get a new sink/stand if I can only spend few dollars for the hardware
to tie the sink to the wall.

Your advice is greatly appreciated.

Based on a sample of two in my experience, it's true that different
sinks have different brackets; however it was also true that it's not
so super high tech that a little surgery on the bracket couldn't adapt
it, or in worst cases a new bracket could be fabricated out of generic
hardware. it helps if you don't have small kids who will at some point
climb onto the sink and jump up and down until it shears off the wall
like cheese in a slicer.
