If you could adjust one thing what would it be, and how?

Using Campden to treat Chloromine. Half tablet. How exactly? Crush and let it sit for how long? Stir?

Best course of action: RO water with 1 tsp per 5 gal CaCl. 2-3% acid malt or use Brunwater to figure out how much lactic acid to get a pH of 5.2-5.4 in the mash.

Otherwise, just try neutralizing your alkalinity with acid malt or lactic acid.

Either way, you're going to make beer that probably ranges from good to great.

It has a modest alkalinity that can be neutralized easily with lactic acid, however the sulfate level is kind of high for a malty lager. Dilution is the solution.
