Bubbles in-between glass and cork background

Hi fellow GU'ers

I've been building my live terrarium for my gargoyle for the past couple of weeks, however, I've ran into a problem. This is the first time I've used the flatten cork background.

As the title says, there seems to be bubbles in-between the glass and the cork flat background. I know for sure that the silicone is fully cured, since theres no vinegar smell, and it's been empty for almost 2 weeks already. I don't think the silicone is expired either since part of it dried.

I believe that the pressure wasn't applied evenly on the background itself when I left it to dry. I added some cork pieces onto the background making it difficult to apply anything flat on it.

I had tried applying more weight on these specific areas for a couple of days, however, the bubbles just form again.

I've attached some pictures, but I'm not sure if you'll be able to see what I'm talking about.

What would you guys suggest I should do? It seems like its holding on tightly.

It should be fine. If you really want to remove it and try again, I would spread the silicone across the entire back glass

I have bubbles on mine too and they've been in there since 2013. I applied small weights to help press the cork background down but it didn't matter, the bubbles were still there.
