Simpler and more precise: Use 1x board that is a bit longer than the

hung, transfer/mark fastener positions to board, level board on the
wall, transfer marks off board to wall.

Or mark on the level if you can ...

First rule of accuracy and efficiency in hanging "stuff" on walls is to
never measure when you can mark.
