UPDATE:
Hi folks! The dealer service manager was accurate in his assessment that this sound and issue had to do with faulty motor mounts and not the heat shield. The dealer replaced the mounts. All applicable sounds are gone with the engine running smoothly and without vibration/sound. For those with a similar issue, refer your dealer to Jeep TSB S2123000027. I’ve attached the image which described the issue I encountered perfectly. Hope this helps the next JGCL owner facing the issue.
