What does the two Shield pins get connected to or are they left floating?
There are two pair of pins labeled shield for this connector. Not sure if these pins get connected to ground or to a voltage source.

No they can be left floating as they have no electrical connection. Additionally they do not need to be connected to each other.
Pro tip: Add them to larger sections of copper, such as a ground pour, or place a via next to the shield pad to help the connector/pads from lifting from the pcb.
Hope this helps!
