Newbie - Builtin Shelf in alcove

I am not exactly sure how you have contructed this. Is this just a single
board that you are going to fasten to the wall somehow? Are there sides
that the shelf board fits in to? Is the shelf attached to a back board that
fits into the alcove? These could be shimmed?

If that doesn't work, you could try blasting.
