You want to shim the mounting bracket under an mounting screw holes where it is not touching the wall. You can use regular wood shims available at any hardware store. You will want to drill to drill a pilot hole through the shim and stud to stop it from splitting. Use a utility blade (always cut away from yourself) to score the and snap off shim when done.

Thank you for the good advice. I will try it out and hopefully thank you again when it is mounted and working.

I mount machinery to walls- similar situation. We drill the mounting holes, insert the anchors and then use Devcon Plastic Steel as a bedding compound to evenly distribute force. For something like a pullup bar, PL Premium or Premium Max also makes an excellent bedding compound and has the compressive strength, workability and ease of application you want.

The old fashioned solution is Rockite- it's used for bedding machine tools but it's not perfectly waterproof.
