Before you drill into your wall check there aren't any hidden hazards behind the wall. Then hold the shelf up on the wall, ensure it’s straight using a spirit level and mark the fixing hole positions. Mark the length of your wall plugs on the drill bit using a piece of tape. Drill the holes in the marked positions and gently tap in the wall plugs with a hammer to ensure they’re flush with the wall. Then hold your shelf up and drill it into the wall.
