Air pockets okay?

Finally got around to repotting my monstera, and I was wondering if it’s okay that there appear to be air pockets filled with her roots, but no soil. I tried bonking the pot up and down a few times, but it doesn’t seem to be settling the soil any. Is this okay? I dont want my monstera to be unhappy for any reason. On that note, does the soil look alright? It’s a mix of aroid potting mix (coir, orchiata, coconut husks chips, sponge rock, worm castings) and a well-draining soil mix from my local nursery. Thanks for the help!! #Monstera #MonsteraMob #PlantCorner

By the way, I'm just saying that it's gonna have transplant shock so it might shed a few leaves or something

I think the air should be ok! The roots need to breathe after all. Plus it should move around a bit after getting watered a few times :)
