I think I made a big leveling mistake. After my concrete footings dried and I re-checked for level and was shocked to realize that the outside footings were not level when I temporarily installed the beams. Is there a known method for fixing this type of problem?

Now that the concrete has dried I'm not sure what to do. Is it possible to notch out the beam on the higher end in order to get leveled. I'm desparate for any suggestions.

FYI, I inserted direct bearing footing connectors into the wet concrete and now that the concrete has dried I can no longer adjust the height.
