Is it ok that my string beans float to the top of the jar where they may not be fully submerged in brine?

I pickled some string beans but they float, and there’s a bit of head space where they aren’t completely submerged. Is that normal? Is it safe?

    as they absorb more and more liquid they will float to the bottom. it should be safe assuming you followed a tested recipie.
