How much weight are you putting on this shelf, it won’t take much, but if light stuff, then! Try and find one stud, take 10 d common nails, not finished, nail them to the wall at about a 45 degree angle. I had that type of shelf in the past. It has holes in the back for hanging. Hang it so that the heads of the nails are in the holes. A little off level, gently tap the shelf on one side or the other.

10 pounds or about 4.5 kilos is what I'm planning on being able to put on the shelf, if even. Bunches of small rocks under a couple ounces, and a big deer antler that's 11.5 ounces/ 0.3 a kilo.

That is not much weight, 5lbs per nail. Remember the 45 degree angle
