I have been seeing both のはず and なはず used here and there, apparently なはず is
usually used for な adj and の for nouns, but I came across this sentence
recently where they are both nouns, but 1 uses な and one uses の, what is the
difference between the 2? Thank you

grammar
difference between な＋はず and の＋はず for nouns?
Here, な and の are interchangeable for both instances of はず. But な tends to
sound informal/colloquial between a noun and a formal noun (はず, わけ, こと, ...),
so something like 彼は学生なはずだ should be avoided in very formal sentences.
