Trouble lining up floating shelf

I put up the bracket for a floating shelf. It’s brand new so there’s no warping. The shelf is above my head so I have to stand on a stool to slide it on to the mounting bracket. I’ve tried over and over but the second it slides into one hole it won’t align with the other. If it was lower I would be able to visually align it but because it’s high up my view is distorted and I just can’t get it. Does anyone have any tricks to align it? submitted by /u/Appropriate_Hand_486 [link] [comments]
