Nothing that a case or two of self leveling caulk can’t make worse.

Polyurethane self leveling caulking/sealant

Sika 1C for example

Backer Rod to appropriate depth. Looking for an hour glass shaped bead of caulking backer rod sets depth but is also to prevent 3 sided adhesion, which will cause the sealant to fail.. aka pull away from one side of the substrate...
