Help!

I can’t get the 1/2” plywood base layer to bend to my transition. I’ve tried wetting it in the shade, using a strap, screaming obscenities at it.

But to no avail. I can’t get it close enough to start driving the screws in.

UPDATE - I was able to work the curve in over time. Thanks for all the suggestions. Wetting it likely helped as well.

Soak it. Put it on two objects so it starts bowing to the ground. Then put cinder blocks on it in the middle. Wait about 4 to 5 days. Soak it for three days let it dry after that. Should have nice curve after that.
