Shower pan settled now uneven

Just finished installing a schluter linear foam pan and getting everything waterproofed. Checked everything before the water test and we were nice and level when i started the water test I was dumbfounded to see everything settled a bit and was now just under 1/8 inch off.


Water does not sit in the pan and drains just fine, but the channel body will retain water on the one side - not much but enough to stress me out. Any thoughts here? Overthinking it or should i rip it out and do another pan and re water proof the pan area again?

I agree with Jim. Under an 1/8" out of level is pretty dang good. That much water will probably dry out within an hour or so anyways. I always recommend removing the grate and giving the channel a good cleaning every few weeks.
