Uneven FloFX - Workable or Redo?

Hello all,


FloFx flange is not level after install (see photo).


The standpipe tilts to the right just a bit.


Standpipe fits inside a 3" diameter concrete floor hole, very little wiggle room.


Am I able to drypack underneath to make level?


Or should I cut the pipe out, make a larger diameter hole, fix the PVC straight, then install new FloFX?


Any other suggestions?


Thank you in advance!


UPDATE:


I got in touch with Chase from FloFx - he said if the standpipe were secure, you could drypaxk underneath if it's between 1/8 to 1/4" off level.


But what I decided to do was cut pipe from inside, then bored larger hole in concrete from 3" to 3-1/2", repositioned the standpipe, and now flange is perfectly level!


It's a pain to try and fix mistakes, but sometimes it's worth the effort to just get in there and do it right. I'm happy I did it, even though I could've gotten away with forcing it level.
