Default Opinions Needed

When I cored the underside of the cap, I built in a little to much curve and the cap is now riding about 3/4” high in one area. I can push it down and hold it in place with one hand, but am worried that I will develop stress cracks down the road.
I have two choices;
Fasten it down and keep moving.
Put a few kerf cuts (8-12” apart) thru the bottom glass and core. Drop it back down and fill the cuts with thickened epoxy and cover them with 6” wide strips of 1708. Will this cause visible steps in the flow of the deck.

So many people on this sight know far far more than I about fiberglass boat repairs, so please let me know what you think.

Sorry pics are upside down.
