When using a FormLayout style,  in general you want to make the labels self-explanatory as much as possible so you don't need section headers. To separate groups of related settings, you can add some whitespace that has the effect of grouping things together in a very natural-looking way.

  Your screenshots show vertical whitespace, but between differently shaped widgets. That makes the space appear a bit random. Then I looked in System Settings, which uses mostly group boxes, and sometimes space, section labels, and horizontal lines.
  
  But in this dialog, whitespace will probably look good, because all widgets have the same shape.
