It can take many weeks or months before the first users start using the bridge.

This is default ...

AFAIK only none or any (default) can be set. BridgeDB then automatically assigns 'https, moat, Email or reseved'

man torrc |  grep Bridge
BridgeDistribution string
  If set along with BridgeRelay, Tor will include a new line in its bridge descriptor which indicates to the BridgeDB service how it would like its bridge address to be given out. Set it to "none" if you want BridgeDB to
  avoid distributing your bridge address, or "any" to let BridgeDB decide. See https://bridges.torproject.org/info for a more up-to-date list of options. (Default: any)

Don't forget obfs4:

## obfs4 is used because it can do IPv4 and IPv6 connections simultaneously
## https://gitweb.torproject.org/pluggable-transports/obfs4.git/tree/README.md
ServerTransportPlugin obfs4 exec /usr/bin/obfs4proxy

## The ServerTransportListenAddr line is dual stack friendly.
ServerTransportListenAddr obfs4 [::]:443

If there are further problems, it is best to post your whole torrc:
~$ grep ^[^#] /etc/tor/torrc
