Pls carry out UT to find out the depth and remove the weld metal until
the depth do the DPT this is only the best method to repair the
defect

Another thing shall be considered is make the grove wider instead of sharp V grove (after back gouge/grind make a "U" (nearly flat at the bottom) which will again help to get the good radiograph.
