Switch to Inverse
U' R B' R' //F2L-1 (4)

Spoiler: comments about your solution

Your blockbuilding is good, but 9 moves for EO is kind of bad. You can do edge control before inserting the third slot like this:

L F2 B' L2 R2 // 222 (5/5)
U F' L' B L2 // 223 (5/10)
switch to inverse:
F' U' // adjust
L U L' U' // flip two edges + lucky pair formed
R B' R' // F2L-1 (9/19)

Then if you sledgehammer the pair in, you end up with OLL skip and a U perm, no AUF. Either finish it with a U perm (33 moves) or see if you can insert an edge commutator (probably ~31 moves).

Tried to simulate what I'd do if I had perfect lookahead. Was going to do F2L-on-left with white, but switched to F2L-on-bottom with red since pseudo-xxcross happened to be formed and was just an x' rotation away.
