#12 x 2" is correct for standards. Here is what they say for brackets. The longer oval head screws can be hard to find. I think flat heads work fine.
5. Place your shelf on the brackets so that the back edge of the shelf touches the standards.
Stabilize shelf using bracket screws (#6 oval head tapping screws: 5"-12-1/2" brackets use one 1" and one 2" screw; 14" brackets use one 1" and one 3-1/8" screw
KV sells a #12 x 2" so that would be their recommended screws for the standard. You dont use a screw for the bracket
