Congratulations on the tree! It does look quite nice!

Those feeder roots will die if exposed to the sun's heat and dry air. While some feeder roots dying will not kill your tree, in your situation, I'd probably bare-root the tree and pull them below the root flare. I suspect it was originally potted too deep by the nursery; I saw that situation on one of the trees I was gifted long ago.

You want to see the root flare before you see feeder roots (from a vertical perspective). Will that kill the tree? No, though it will make it more prone to disease. Is it good for it? Not a bit.

Thanks

What if i plant it a little deeper so the roots are covered with soil I don't have much experience bare-rooting so i'd rather not

Also should I take some soil back out since the plants roots takes up only about a quarter of the planter most of it is just soil

Sure; if bare-rooting isn't an option, mound up a little soil over the roots to cover them up. Just try not to put too much up against the main trunk if you can avoid it.
