wood deck to CMU connection - offset
(OP)
See attached detail first.
Designing a deck for a shipping container restaurant. The mason didn't set his foundation walls exactly level and I'm suddenly dealing with a 3" gap I have to make up. I had previously planned to ledger the wood joists to the CMU wall and move on, but now as you can tell, the anchors are WAY below the hangers and that's just not cool. I had thought of using an 18" PSL but that's just getting ridiculous and I'm not sure they even make a Parallam Plus (ie treated) version at that depth.
I'm thinking of scrapping the whole wood ledger and using a steel ledger to sit the joists straight on, but I need some help with what steel shape to use and how to connect the wood to the steel.
thanks, folks.

How are you dealing with pull-out?
Your detail is very weak in that direction.
