Should I be concerned about this gap between the stand and tank?

The tank is showing level but noticed this one corner not touching the padding. I think the padding is compressed and not due to the stand or tank being off


suggestions?

Once you fill it with water, the whole mat will compress and the tank should make contact with that part of the mat. Worse case fill it with freshwater and see if it mates up

I wish I took a picture when I filled it up. I noticed that it did level out except for the very end of the corner.
 
Can’t tell from this pic but this is the closest I got with water in it.

I guess what are the options once water is in it.

Is this a new tank and purchased together tank and stand? If so I would reach out to the manufacturer / vendor just to cya or to be forum friendly cyb and see what they say.
The tank was new the stand was used but made for the exact tank
 
Appreciate everyone’s help.
