It is always best to dig down and cut-away the dirt from the high end which will remain more stable as opposed to trying to "build-up" a low area which then would not as stable. So you have a 41" difference due to the angle of the slope you are placing the pool on? That's quite a drop.
I know it does not look like it should be 41 inches we have checked several times with a transit. Do you think this will be a problem

No matter how you do it that is a significant volume of dirt. Is there a slope can we get a picture
With that volume you don't want fill unless done by a Profesional

It's probably not a big deal, but it will depend on what you have on the high side. You can dig the area larger than the pool and use a retaining wall of stacking blocks to hold the dirt back, or you can just taper the dirt on the high side to make it stable.
I assume you have equipment available to move a little dirt.

We are going to lay tile around bottom of pool and yes a slope I will take pic soon

doesn't look like a big slope but it drops off closer to the corner the lilac bush has to be cut back can't move up any because of water line and other utility Lines in yard

I would dig out from solid ground at the low point. My pool is dug in 18-20 inches in 16 feet across the short side.
