Concepts reside within the brain physically.

You are not only wrong, you are using the wrong term. The term is abstract objects and as such are mind-independent components of reality.

Actually, abstract refers to that which exists only as thoughts or ideas without being part of external reality. So, when you say abstract objects are mind-independent, you're contradicting yourself.
