Planted too shallow??

[Plantking165]

I was told I planted this palm not deep enough so what I had done is add another layer of soil to keep up with it. This may not be a problem now but could be later on. As planting to high can result in it breaking down the road I want advice on if you guys think this will be fine as it's not too bad or what I should do to fix the problem I don't wanna dig it back out as it's a month into its establishment. Pics are before and after the added layer of soil. And a pic of what can happen to a palm planted too shallow.

Looks fine to me. I tend to find most trees slightly sink about an inch or possible more over the first year due to soil compaction under the rootball. If it does remain too high just keep soil and mulch built up to cover any exposed roots. Roots can become air-pruned if exposed, but I believe yours will be fine.

looks perfectly leveled with the mulch. 
What type of mulch is that by the way? 

Yeah I have noticed that as well. Once i thought my pygmy was growing so slow and i discovered it had sunk 2 inches into the muddy soil. 
 

if a palm does sink down a few inches is it fine to let stay that way or will it rot?

Yeah it wasn't level with the sand so I added the layer of black cow manure to even it out hopefully it's good enough bc I don't think sand really sinks down much at all.

If your talking a couple inches above the trunk that's bad it will rot it I would dig some of the soil out at that point
