Salary negotiations after signing the offer

I’m changing jobs. During the compensation discussion, HR mentioned an expected base salary of X. When the final offer came, the base was about $3.5k lower(<3%), but it also included a sign-on bonus and a higher annual bonus target than originally discussed, making the overall package stronger.
I accepted the offer verbally and have since signed it.
In hindsight, I’m wondering if I should call the hiring manager and ask if there’s any flexibility to move the base back to the amount initially discussed. I’d make it clear that I’m 100% committed to joining regardless of the outcome.

Would this be considered poor form, or is it a reasonable conversation to have?
