how can i put my structure slightly into the ground

I need help putting  my structure slightly into the ground, as it is meant to be a crater with a meteor in it. do i need to make this a feature? or can i keep it as a structure? I've been attempting multiple things and I can't get my structure to be in the ground.

Lock the mod element, and open the structure's .JSON file. Where it says 'absolute,' replace the zero with a negative number. (You can use a positive number instead if you want it to generate above the surface.

As an alternative to editing json files, you can create a structure with two parts: The upper part, in your case, the crater rim, which spawns on the surface. And then use a jigsaw block to spawn the lower section, which will spawn under the rim. This is the same method for adding houses with basements, or desert pyramids which have part of their structure underground.
