Hello! According to the Appendix of Apache License 2.0, if you want to license your software under this License you should "attach the boilerplate notice, with the fields enclosed by brackets "[]" replaced with your own identifying information". This condition is not met now.
Сould you remove the copyright from the text of the license and add a COPYRIGHT NOTICE FILE (like this) in the appropriate form instead (including the year of the software development and your name and surname)?
You could also apply the Apache License to your source-code files by attaching the notice as a comment at the top of each file.
Thank you in advance!

Apache.org says:

Include a copy of the Apache License, typically in a file called LICENSE, in your work, and consider also including a NOTICE file.

It is also valuable to tag each of your source-code files in case they become detached from the LICENSE file. To apply the Apache License to your source-code files, one approach is to attach the following notice to as a comment at the top of each file. Replace the copyright templates with your own identifying information:

Copyright [yyyy] [name of copyright owner]
