Exactly. I would remove the shims and set a 6 foot and a 4 for level on the floor. Fine the lowest corner and start there. Worst case (3) jacks will need to be adjusted. The jack catty-corner the the lowest corner will not need to be adjusted.Yes, I would crank them up some too. Not too much all at once, slow and steady, over a few days if you have to.

LOL. I was thinking something similar:"If you don't have time to do it right the 1st time, where are you going to find time to do it the 2nd time"
Although, I guess there's probably more than one way to get it done.

LOL. I was thinking something similar:
“Why is it nobody ever has time to do it right, but they always have time to do it again.”
Far as I'm concerned, this is still the 1st time. Leveling and adjust, you're doing it right, just not done. Doesn't sound like you're being lazy either, nobody would be excited to get back down there. You're on the right track, keep it up.I did it correctly the first time. Apparently, it wasn't enough.
No nut on the thread to just turn? The center of the thread should spin in the plate.These posts aren't very advanced. To crank them, I'd first have to jack up the beam that they support to the new height, From there I can spin the plate on the top of the post to raise up to the new position.
I have a piece of 3/4 ply that I can cut to the stand footprint and place it under for weight distribution, but jacking up the floor is my preferred solution.
I wasn’t specifically referring to you. Just that the saying that was posted reminded me of a similar saying.I did it correctly the first time. Apparently, it wasn't enough.

Looks like good work. Should be stable@Dburr1014

UPDATE:
Here is where we are....
This is the completed work. I raised the jack posts as suggested. In doing so, the wood frame which was holding up the floor in its old position came free as it wasn't bearing any weight. So I decided to relocate it in the center between the floor posts.
This is the jack with the floor raised into position. As you can see, the floor posts have moved. This was corrected.
As you can see, the space is significantly less.
This is the bubble (left to right). Looks good!
Unfortunately, from front to back, it still looks like this (please zoom in):
So after all of this work and no shims, I'm wondering if I've really accomplished anything. I guess, if nothing else, I can sleep at night knowing that the weight is thoroughly supported.
I'll level the tank and post pictures shortly.
