Question

I have just started the top repair with a bass bar patch as the crack was really jagged and totally messy. Ill leave the final shaping of the inlay for when the bar is ready to shape.
The ROUGH linen patches are just for crack support until cleating.

My question is as follows - in the pic there is a chalked cross a few inches below bridge position and for some reason the top has sunk in just a bit over there . I thought this normally happened directly under the bridge feet but the top is nicely rounded where the bridge feet should sit.
Should I try and fit the bass bar over the slightly raised area or is it better to
try and heat press it out in a mould even though it is over a small and pretty thickly wooded area ?
