What's the normal way to attach the end studs to a stone/brick wall ?

Frame fixings. Basically long screws and plugs. You just put the
frame or stud in the right place and drill right through the frame
and into the wall the required depth, alignment is automatic. You can
get hammer in frame fixings drill the hole and hammer the screw and
plug in. No tedious fitting of plug and screwing in of screw...
