I'm building a short (3.5 ft) fence in my front yard. I have most of the posts sunk in dirt holes, but two of them will need to be mounted on a concrete slab.
The problem is that the slab has a slight slope to it and the post brackets I have will cause the posts to not be completely vertical.
These are the brackets I bought.
Is there something I can put under this bracket/anchor to make it sit level?

One or two galvanized or stainless-steel washers between the post base and the concrete should do. The latter are thinner and would allow finer angle adjustment. If you don't like the look of the gap underneath, fill it with a fine bead of gray caulk.
That said, there's probably plenty of slop against the post that you can plumb it and add the side screws to keep it plumb even if the base is slightly out of level.
To really make it solid with either approach, use heavy-duty construction adhesive between the base and the post.
