Second coat ridge at butt join

Hi everyone - first time dry walling and at 2nd coat there are these ridges at the joint. I suspect maybe I didn’t have enough mud behind the paper tape. Would I have to cut these out and retape or is this something that can get skim coated and smoothed out at third or fourth coat. Thank you!
