Check a soundboard sinking on floating bridge oud

I have searched on the forum and I didn't find the answer to this question :
How to check that the sinking of the soundboard (spruce) on a floating bridge oud (57cm scale, 5 courses) is "normal" please?
The oud is a 7 yr old Belhaiba oud.

Is a 2 mm sinking a the level of the bridge normal?

Is there a way (or ways) to measure the sinking? and which would be the max value of it please?
(When tuned in "c"? or "f"?)

Thanks

I wouldn't worry about 2mm at the bridge after 7 years.

Thanks Samir.
Actually I believe it is more than 2mm. See the pic below, centered on the bridge
