Thank you for the reply.
The distance between string and fretboard is like:
1st fret: 1.2mm
3rd fret: 2.0mm
5th fret: 2.2mm
7th fret: 3.0mm
9th fret: 3.2mm
11th fret: 3.5mm
12th fret: 3.2mm
So guess it is okey
Can’t tell from pictures. I can think of only 2 things that could happen, but generally rare. The neck is pulling away from the uke body. I’ve seen this on some vintage instruments and usually there is a gap at the heel.
Or the neck has bent to where there is excessive relief. Also kinda rare, but I had it happen on one uke. Easy to test. Put a capo on the first fret, or have someone press the string, and press the string down on the last fret. There should be a slight gap around the 7th fret. I think it is around .004”/.1mm on a uke. If it is close to .5mm there is a problem. You can’t really fix it unless the uke is worth the $$$.

Ukulele necks are intended to be flat. Take a steel rule and place it along the fret board on top of the frets. Ideally it should touch the top of each fret. If you find any bowing or curve, this can be acceptable, provided it is in the concave direction, and is very, very slight. If it adversely affects the way the ukulele plays, then it is not acceptable.
If there is any curve in the opposite(convex) direction, then you have something to worry about. It will be very obvious that the ukulele is not playing as it should.
It is not feasible to correct a bent neck. You either live with it, if you can, or get another uke.

Probably I'll sand the bottom of the bridge.
But if sand it, isn't string and fretboard distance in 1st fret gets too close?
