I see, so this is why you used the "Property Label 22" Label.

I checked the settings, and if you use the "Property Label 22" Label, then in the "Symbol Label" panel, you can set the Orientation of the Label to be parallel to the labeled Wall.

I don't know why, but you have to set the pointer in order to have this option active.(see attached)

....and what does that do?
By setting the pointer as you describe?

Try changing the angle in "Label Orientation"

Using NCS Wall label 23
