I'm a carp. that plumbs. You didn't give us much info,so here is how I would handle it.
I would rip tapered 2x4s from nothing to level for the outside skirt. Screw a 1x4 against the wall. There's a lot missing here,but You didn't give Us much!

Pour a mud bed under it, set it level and then, when the mortar dries remove the tub carefully and place the ledgers, replace the tub.
