The Gemara asks why here it states פסולה and in Eruvin it states ימעט. Why didn’t the Gemara answer that by Sukkah it cannot say anything else, because once the schach is higher than twenty amos, it is passul, because of תעשה ולא מן העשוי. In order to make it kosher, one would have to shake the schach or in this case actually lower it.

Two things initially:
#1 It clearly does not have that psul for the Ritva states this is difference between menorah and sukkah. Menorah can't be moved if one holds hadlokoh oseh mitzva and sukkah can be moved.
#2 what is the meaning of your last words "or in this case actually lower it", so you are agreeing that one can lower it and be kosher?
It is possible that the Pnei Yehoshua addresses your point and states that one can lower the schach or raise the ground with dirt and there is no pesul of תעשה for tosofs later states that when pesul mis because of height the schach is not passul and hence there would be no problem.
Lastly, for now at least, the Sfas Emes states that perhaps if one would raise the floor, he would have to shake the schach, but our Gemora doesn't have to come on to that for if he lowers the schach, that is sufficient.
In conclusion, your kasha is answered, because there is a simple solution of lowering the schach, which all would agree is fine, so why doesn't our Mishna say ימעט.
