If the short wall is really less that 10 feet long---attaching it to the side walls should be fine----with a continuous double top plate.
My guess, even with no pins into the concrete, that will be plenty stable.
If you feel it must be attached to the floor. use one or two cut nails or Ramset pins--
Do not attempt to drill through the carpet---the drill will grab the fibers of the rug and make a huge mess--
