The license file does not contain the Copyright owner (and years). It only contains the placeholder Copyright {yyyy} {name of copyright owner}. This causes compliance check tools (e.g. https://www.mend.io/) to fail.

We use Apache's license template. We had amended license text variants in place causing all sorts of deviations in license scanner tools alerting we would use a proprietary license and not ASLv2.

If you read the section you flagged closely, it talks about

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

Line 190, Copyright {yyyy} {name of copyright owner} is the beginning of the boilerplate notice.

That being said, you might want to circle back to your compliance check tool vendor and asking them to fix their check.
