The rule match string strips out the query string (everything after the ?). Hence you want to drop the ? and explicitly use the query string like this (instead of your last rule)

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^([\w\-]+)$
RewriteRule ^postname/$ postname/%1?   [L]

Note that you should drop the leading / as this won't match as .htaccess rule match string drops the leading /; also note the ? in the replacement pattern and omission of the QSA flag as you don't want to append the query string.

Also move this rule above the previous cond/rule as this second rule will fire on your postname pattern so you'll never get to this rule unless you move it up one.
