The end of the license text is:

   APPENDIX: How to apply the Apache License to your work.

      To apply the Apache License to your work, attach the following
      boilerplate notice, with the fields enclosed by brackets "{}"
      replaced with your own identifying information. (Don't include
      the brackets!)  The text should be enclosed in the appropriate
      comment syntax for the file format. We also recommend that a
      file or class name and description of purpose be included on the
      same "printed page" as the copyright notice for easier
      identification within third-party archives.

Looking at https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0 I think it should be:

I think that whole section at the bottom should be removed as this is not a single file license, but for the whole repo. The copyright at the top should be sufficient:
