Helpful Expert Reply:
Getting the trailer as close to level as you have should be just fine. If your only options are to be a tiny bit too high or a tiny bit too low I usually recommend going on the high side since most likely the suspension will compress slightly from the weight of the tongue weight and it will get very close to level.
I attached a help article on picking out ball mount rise/drop for you to check out as well.
