Making sure I have this ground stuff right

Me again. I've been searching and reading for a few hours now. I *think* I might understand how to do the ground prep.

I am putting up an Intex Ultra XTR.

We had a previous pool, so we already have the level spot, and the previous owners put sand down and nothing else. I did rake the sand to level it (it had some wavy spots) and now I'm wondering what else.

If I understand correctly, I need to put down the included ground tarp and then something like a Gorilla pad over that.

Then I need 4" thick pavers dug into the ground to about 1/4" above ground level for the legs.

Do I put anything on the pavers to help the legs not slide off?

I can put the Gorilla pad over the edges of the pavers to prevent tearing the pool.

I'm still unclear on the back filling. We have a hole that ranges from 6" deep to about 2' deep. How do I keep the dirt from settling and resting on the side of the pool?

Y'all are great and have been a huge help!
