Seating tubeless tire

I’ve been running tubeless on my mountain bike, and it is definitely the way to go. Lower tire pressure means a smother ride, and potential flats just seal themselves up. Lately I’ve been able to hear a ball of tire sealant rolling around in my rear tire, so I decided it was time for some maintenance. I removed the wheel, took the tire off, removed the ball of goo, and cleaned the inside of the tire (that was a lot of work). I got the tire back on the wheel and used my air compressor to attempt to seat the tire. But because of gaps between the tire and the rim wall, I’m not able to seat the tire. I tried to work the tire to sit prettier in the rim, but to no avail. Also watched a couple of YouTube videos, but didn’t really see this issue being addressed. Has anybody else had to deal with this?
