The answer to your question would be that the word in the sentence that the prepositional phrase "on the counter" relate to is the following one: placed.

The prepositional phrase "on the counter" gives information as regards the place in which the invention is located. The verb also provides information as regards location; therefore, the prepositional phrase and the verb phrase are related.
