My short answer is "you can't create the wall on someone." For that, get Binding.

Creating a wall in such a way that it "impacts" a target . . . well, I can see that being used creatively.

I would treat it as a "knockback only" attack. The wall appears in their hex and inflicts 4d knockback. If that's enough to move them a hex, they move the hex. They take no damage, they're just moved. If it's not enough, they stay in the same hex as the wall, just at range C to it.

Trying to create a wall between two people, say who are at C, or are grappling (but there's some room, like holding someone by the neck), I would still treat it as a KB only attack affecting both of them. If neither are moved, then the wall appeared around one side of them (you didn't quite get it where you wanted, or they were able to maneuver around it). If it knocks one or the other, or both, away, the wall appears where intended.
