Somewhere along the way of me making my alpha... I noticed a raised, bumpy spot, and that's on me for not doing a great job at making the color changes neater, but I'm wondering if there's a way to flatten this raised bump without needing to backtrack or redo those rows? I'm already so far into my bracelet. 😭

Are you using the flat alpha technique for your colour switches? If no, I recommend using it.

Are the raised spots happening when you have knots of one colour, then knots of other colours and then knots of the first colour again? If that's the case, you might be pulling the loose leading strings in the back too tight. You can cut the loose leading strings in the back to relieve some tension.

You could also use the clean back alpha technique. It’s where the strings you aren’t using are like being tied in/throughout the alpha. MashaKnots has a good tutorial.
