Still not sure what you want.
Do you want to:-
a) minimise the gap between the top of the rail and the ceiling?
b) minimise the gap between the back of the rail and the wall?
c) both a and b?
For (a) you could just use the wall mountings and mount them really high up the wall so the top of the mounting sits flush with the ceiling, but there would be a ~4mm gap and the rail would sit away from the wall a bit, plus you'd be able to see the brackets.
For (b) use the ceiling mounting things, but you obviously don't like them as that leaves a big gap above the rail.
For (c), looking at the profile of the rail you could get a few countersunk holes drilled through the middle channel from below and use these to screw it directly to the ceiling, no brackets required and rail can sit wherever you want it positioned.
As designed there's nothing that can do (c) without some form of modification as the rail has to be attached from above, so you either need space above to do this, or pre-attach something above leaving a gap and ending up mounting it on the wall with a bracket.
