Yes, just sand the bottom. But make sure you use a something like the side of a level that is perfectly 90° to hold the saddle against as you sand. You want to keep the bottom perfectly square. Go a little at a time. I suggest taking a magic market or pencil and color the bottom of the saddle so as you sand you can make sure you're sanding evenly. Once you sand all the color off evenly, measure and repeat as needed.
