Then & only then, take meat off the bottom of the saddle.

And before you do any of this, find out if the neck needs resetting, because if it does, you'll never get things right without doing that.
I agree with Dave,
There is a logical order in which to proceed and Dave hit the nail,

Adjust neck for proper relief

Set up the nut so the slots are at the correct depth

Then adjust the saddle
