If you've pumped it up to say 100psi at least and it's still not sitting right, pumping it up more wont help. Best case, nothing changes, worst case, tyre or tube blow out. Whenever I've had a bulge in my tyre or the bead not seated correctly I've noticed almost straight away, with maybe only 30-40psi in the tube, refitting has always solved it.
By all means take it to the bike shop and see i they can reinstall it to make it fit, if it still won't go I'd suggest either tyre, tube or rim is defective.
Have you tried marking the point on the tyre / tube where it happens and swapping the tyres between the two wheels and seeing if the problem follows the tyre or stays in the same place on the rim etc?
FWIW, I can't really see what it is you're referring to in the picture.
