Tips for skew nailing?

I have been trying to skew nail some 90x45 today and I'm having a few issues, would appreciate any tips!

The first problem I'm having is that the nail gun leaves the nail about 10mm proud, I have tried bumping up the pressure to 120, putting more pressure on the gun, firing from different angles but nothing helps. Maybe it's because my nail gun is a cheap and nasty (spear and jackson project air)?

What's a good way to keep the stud in place so that the gun doesn't knock it out of position?

Thanks in advance!
