Yes they need to be on the base for support or they'll sink and be unsafe. Which platforms did you get? You could either make longer legs or have a lower section of substrate.

It's an issue with platforms if the legs aren't long enough. As then they sit level with the substrate! Getzoo do some with 21cm legs that sit above the substrate well. And Trixie have a natural living shelter with 21cm legs.
