Thank you for the clear instructions and picture.
I was able to implement an extremely similar fix taking into account the variable cabinet layouts.
I used a variety of L brackets to attach the new pieces to the "bones" of the cabinet. Nothing is attached to the thin veneer or aluminum.
The oven feels secure and is sitting more level than it has in a year. It is also tall enough that I can secure the top plate since it isn't below the height of the counter anymore.
Please excuse the trim sticking out, it is just cosmetic at this point.
I really appreciate all the feedback I got on this matter.
