RedSea 525 Reefer cabinet integrity - Please Help!

Latest: I received the new cabinet from Red Sea and will be hiring another Aquarium Services company to come redo my tank. flying $$$... :(
 
I have completed the build. Everything fits nicely. Thank you Red Sea! Customer service is amazing!

I have a couple more questions:
1) the black foam on the cabinet top is uneven. It is caused by the packaging material being compressed against the black foam during shipping. (see attached pictures) should I worry about this unevenness? I have read online that there is a 750 which cracked at the bottom was due to unevenness on the black foam top. If the evenness matters, is there a way to even it out again?
2) Leveling - I have hired an aquarium services company to help setup and level my tank. Do you guys recommend leveling once with empty tank on cabinet and another leveling after water is filled ~80% in the tank?

Thanks again.
