Valley in my door skin weld

I really took my time and was careful welding in this outer skin. It was a challenge to set in the correct position due to the back side bottom of the door already being cut away, but I made templates from my original door and felt pretty good when it was all done. I tacked in the back patch panel last night and when I clamp the two together I have a pretty good valley in the middle of the door at the weld. I don't want that much filler in the door. What can I do to correct this? Can I pull the panel at or near the weld to pull it out? Cut it out and start over? Thanks.
