Yeah, I need a picture. It is hard to understand from your question and description what you are seeing. All I could offer is to build and install a new mantle of your choice. It could be a floating mantle.
Here's some ideas that may fit your plan:

My stone fireplace has a pegged on wooden mantle. I do wish it was thicker more substantial.
If you have one, you can stain it. I don’t have a mantle in mine and like it that way.
