The split-studs, included in the hardware kit, are the dual stud replacements with space in the middle that allow the pocket doors to pass through. Don’t over-tighten and deform the bracket. Once installed (a helper is a good idea here), fasten the brackets to the jack stud with 2-in. Fasten them together on the floor and then set the tracks in place on the header.
To guide placement, snap a chalk line on the floor even with the side jambs. For a double slider like ours, you join two tracks together.
