Helicopters jump in and out of ground effect when near raised platforms, the CFD is not calculating the drop

As far as I know, this is simulated absolutely correctly and is a peculiarity of this helicopter. The H125 tilts about 3-5° to the right when hovering. In forward flight, this tilt balances out aerodynamically.
You can see this clearly in the following video:

first the left skid lifts and only then the right one. In hovering flight, this helicopter is always tilted slightly to the right.
