If the bass side is correct i would route level and add a 1.5mm veneer over the whole pocket floor, although a shim may also achieve the same thing if there is enough height adjustment to make it work at the bridge
If the treble side is correct then just routing it level should be enough

If there is a simple explanation, it will soon be identified.
I used some of the 2-part epoxy putty you used to be able to get that was like a mini Battenberg cake. A rectangular stick with one part as the core and the other as a skin like the marzipan on the cake bar. You cut a piece off and mix it well with your fingers. I covered the heel with cling film, smeared a thin layer into the side of the neck pocket that was too deep and gouged, then squeezed the neck in and clamped it in a level position. It left a permanent very hard shim and this method worked very well.
it’s not something I’ve ever seen before, possible as this is my first guitar from the Gibson family, with their world renowned QC ;-)
