Forgot to add on the left side of photo there is a hard root mass which is higher than both structural roots not sure what to do about that? as it’s quite proud of the other roots and has a ton of feeder roots coming from it

Yep, the root flare is just above the fibrous roots. Add some soil to cover those roots. The root mass that you describe is likely caused by the container the tree was grown in. The best thing to do with that is to cut it away (if it’s a fibrous root mass) or if it is a large root, cutting it at the point before it makes a turn to encourage it to grow outwards.
