Looking for advice on framing this wall under basement stairs

I'd like to frame this wall under my basement stairs, behind the insulation is concrete. Also, in my state basement walls need to be floating I'm trying to figure out how to attach the top plate to the bottom of the stairs. Should I just run a 2x4 along the wall and nail it up into the stringer? I can't see any of the structural wood with the top drywall in place, do I need to cut it back first? https://imgur.com/a/6LdU2Xa submitted by /u/PracticalList5241 [link] [comments]
