It should even out once the roots start taking hold. Your cutter should be told to not cut the new sod for three weeks. Yeah, I know, too late for that but useful info, anyway. After that, the normal cutting and growth should make it all look nice and even after a bit.

From my understanding, you actually want the new sod to be higher at first.
