Place the bracket on that mark and using the pencil mark through the holes to pin point where to drill for the mounting nails.

Place the shelf into the brackets and level the shelf using the level placed on the shelf. Mark a place on the back wall for the clip to be install to support the rear of the shelf. Remove the shelf. Drill a 1/4-inch hole in the wall and mount the clip to the wall. Mount a clip every 12 inches and no further then 2 inches from each end.
