It should be laying on a sand bed, and sand backfill to at least halfway up the pipe in a ditch. The problem you have was caused by to much over dig at the inlet of the tank. I always supported the inlet pipe at the over dig with compacted sand or pea gravel. I always placed the inlet of the tank as close to the edge of the hole as possible.
