I'd appreciate a little help, can you elaborate on the set it up correctly part? I don't see much in the way of configuration options here.
I've tried Gaming, Standard, and Custom with Gaming manually set as the only high priority. In each case, results are exactly the same. Ping on Rocket League spikes from ~40 to ~400 when downstream is under load and to ~1000 when upstream is under load.
What settings do you suggest?

Yeah, that's the gaming mode button I'm talking about. And you've tested that under deliberate stress test to saturate your upstream and downstream connections?

Do you really have a 10Gb internet connection? If so, that waveform test isn't coming close to saturating your link so you don't actually need any of these settings at all because your link isn't under stress. If all the packets can make it through the link without congestion, then there's nothing for QoS/SQM, etc. to do.
