I put a new tire on my rear wheel and it was the tightest fitting tire I’ve ever seen. Extremely hard to wrestle on there but I eventually got it. Now, though, it’s not quite seated right all the way around. There’s about a 3-spoke length just on the one side where the little textured edge, instead of peaking out from behind the rim, dives down a bit behind it. Is this a problem worth fixing or should I just ride on it? Will it eventually fix itself? Otherwise, what do I do to fox it?
Here’s a vodeo and some pictures

It is your main point of contact / connection to the ground so if something isn’t right with it then I think it is definitely worth fixing. The bead hasn’t correctly hooked over.
I would personally pump it up to around 70 or so psi and then pull back on the shoulder of the tyre away from the side that isnt hooked in correctly to try and get it to hook in correctly. If it won’t seat correctly and also for fitment in the future a little bit of washing up liquid around the bead helps to get the tyres on and for the bead to get seated correctly.
