I am trying to write my master thesis in PDFLaTeX using texmaker and being complete novice to LaTeX I probably overcomplicated my solution and it's not giving me what I want.
Problem I am facing: Wstęp (Introduction) page number (generated with in Table of Contents is not aligned with other page numbers in Table of Contents.
Preferred solution: ToC page numbers to be all aligned (in 1 "column")
I would gladly accept any help with how to fix my code :) Thank you in advance!

% #2 heading level (relevant for secnumdepth and tocdepth counters)
% #3 indent (\z@ is 0pt)
% #4 space before: when less than 0pt, no parindent is inserted after the heading, if greater or equal to 0pt, parindent is inserted. @plus and @minus add positive and negative glue, i.e., room for TeX to stretch or shrink vertical space(s) to fill the page down to the bottom
% #5 space after: values <0pt make inline headings with the amount as horizontal space, positive values make vertical space. Can also have glue.
% #6 are font switches like font family, font size, font weight, etc.
