Well considering the molecules have to be transported it’s possible the wall interferes with the molecules of the pencil lead as they are being torn apart and turned into energy tho I suppose thinking that way it would probably be more of a smoky dot stain rather than a line
But the molecules are NOT “transported” (as in a translation shifting, either in the direction of the transport nor in any direction - plus why assume that the ship is straight UP, it could be like a 90-degree angle while it is in orbit?).
Instead, the molecules are destroyed, being converted into energy, and then the energy is… [insert sciency-wiency stuff to make me sound smart:-P just don’t forget to replace this text before posting, you dummy!]. And then they are (re-)assembled at the end location.

Except, of course, when that isn’t the case.
Star Trek canon is pretty close to Doctor Who canon in being “there isn’t much of one” despite some Trekkies thinking otherwise.
Or, hear me out, Barclay is somehow a literal god, and makes his own rules?
Naw, you’re probably right.
BUT…!?
