Since I'm not sure which rescue setup you have, I'll give you the easier
method.  At the grub menu edit the boot entry and add "init=/bin/bash"
to the end of the linux line.  This will boot you right to a root bash
prompt.  Then run the following two commands, replace "username" with
your real username:
/usr/sbin/usermod -a -G wheel username

However, I get a bunch of selinux context stuff (in a line), at the end of which it says 
"res=failed".  This laptop is one of those 4K resolution ones and so has very 
small print on the console and so I could not take a picture that is clear enough.


Actually, I missed a line earlier. I get:

usermod: cannot lock /etc/passwd: try again later

I see that one.

and then gives this selinux stuff under audit:

I don't see that.  Where did you find that?

Anyway, what I missed is that / is still read-only at that point. So before the other commands I gave you, run:
mount -o rw,remount /
