I too have similar problems with my parcel shelf. It does seem to be an extremely poor design lacking any robustness.

Show me any recent car that has a robust shelf- built to a weight and cost

As Buffy has mentioned there ain’t many robust ones around - what is a Parcel Shelf For ? IMHO it is basically to keep prying eyes from looking in the Hatch Area and to neaten up the visual effects inside the rear, there is no other real function as it is just too flimsy to support weights. Weight is the name of the game these days in vehicles - Dave 😋

... and you're not supposed to put anything on it while driving since it could shoot forward.
