What they may have seen in the system is that your bag has been scanned in AMS but as it hasn't reached the GRU flight, the bag is not localized as it can be anywhere in AMS or has been wrongly loaded into a plane bound to anywhere but GRU.

The website for purchase is irrelevant in that case. Were your flights AF- or KL-coded ? If the former, then yes you have to deal with AF. If the latter, then deal with KL. Knowing your itinerary, I have the feeling that it is KL-coded.

GOL is just acting as the AF-KL ground handling agent in GRU and I understand they are the ones who created your missing bag file. Any inquiry regarding your delayed bag for localization and delivery has indeed to be made with them (but that's certainly not a reason to not enquire the PSL, knowing that the bag is likely in AMS, so in KL hands). But any claim for compensation, reimbursement of expenses has to be made with the marketing carrier, not with GOL (unless you have a GOL ticket which is very unlikely if purchased on AF website).
