How do I use /setblock and place a stone brick stair in the outer right shape?

How do I use /setblock and place a stone brick stair in the outer right shape? - From above or stone rows of stairs of stepped well with dirty water in Hampi India

I can't quite place a stair the direction I want it to go and I need to know the format of how to do that command. I have already attempted to do

/setblock ~ ~ ~ minecraft:stone_brick_stairs 2
                       and 
/setblock ~ ~ ~ minecraft:stone_brick_stairs 3 etc.

However I end up with either of these two situations:

stairs not forming a corner with the wall
stairs not connecting with the nearby stairs

but I want it to be like this:
stairs connecting to the wall AND nearby stairs

I've tried this but then it looks kinda ugly:
another set of stairs to create the corner but cutting into the wall

This is the whole room layout: room layout

It seems that the problem is not with the setblock command, but with the stair position right behind it.

If I'm seeing this right...

? = stair placed sideways to wall ? = stair placed pointing away from wall

When you look at the stairs, corner stairs are actually placed in a certain way. These diagrams will represent the way they are placed. ? is a wall block. Do NOT remove the wall blocks. Only change the stairs that you have already placed.

This placement creates the stairs you want:

Is it clearer now? Try placing by hand first before setblock so you can see where I'm getting at.

In general, start by adding a stair block, then another next to it with the same orientation. Finally, orient yourself 90 degrees to add the third stair which will complete a corner.

    Answer 2

    The corner stairs are not actually stairs rotated in that direction, but a special texture when the stair that is rotated 90 degrees from the original direction, thus to get the special rotation you need another stair next to it.
