Remove a lot if not all of your bedding attempt. Then re-do it.

You simply had too much bedding compound in the action recess and you did not have it squeezed down

When you re-do it, wrap electric tape around your barrel somewhere in front of the bedded area. This tape will do two things.
a. float the barrel the height that you want
b. center the barrel in the channel

Try the barreled action in the stock before adding the bedding compound and adjust as necessary. Use a good deal less compound.
