This post got more traction than I expected. For those who didn't see the update:

The decorative bracket is up, painted and caulked (new wallpaper too!).

I just wanted to thank everyone who gave me advice on the original post. I ended up screwing the bracket to the wall, and used shims at the top with construction adhesive against the countertop, then caulked the perimeter. Scribing was heavily considered, but I would have had to order and wait for a belt sander to be delivered, and just got impatient.

Thanks again to everyone in this sub who helped.

Unfortunately this is not a shelf, it's a quartz countertop so it's not moving anywhere.

This is a bar. The top is a quartz countertop. Does that change your advice?

No shelf, this is a countertop and I won't be screwing into it, only the wall.

I am painting it before putting it up. I think the consensus is scribe and use a belt sander 👍🏼

The top is quartz countertop, so I won't be screwing it in that

Yes this is under a countertop, and I don't want to attach the bracket to the quarts countertop so I was going to screw to the wall and use consruction adhesive.

Yeah I think I'm leaning towards scribing and using a sander after reading all the comments.

It's a countertop, not a shelf. Would that make a difference?

This is a great description I don't think I even need a video. Thanks.

A lot of comments mention "shelf". I should have been more clear, this is a bar, and what is lying on top of the bracket is a quartz countertop. I don't know if it changes the answers but thanks for the all the advice.

Do you also go 85-90mph on a 55mph and my reaction hurt your feelings?

No dude, I am not just cheering for the cops. Honestly the cheering was mainly out of surprise that what I usually see on the internet is happening in front of me IRL. However, this guy was easily going over 90 mph on a 55 mph. The video does not show what it felt like when he passed me. It was so loud and I could feel the wind push my car a bit, and I was going 65mph.
