Is the lump, where you last pushed the tire over? (if not sure, mark that area next time). Or is it at the valve?

Also, what kind or rim do you have? Look at the cross sections here, and tell us which is most like yours. The area of concern is the shape of the tire side, not whether it's aero or not.

On rims with recessed center wells, (silver ones, third box from left top row) having one part of the tire in the well creates slack allowing another area to be too high. Often you have to seek out low spots and lift them out while spreading the tire around evenly, to pull down high spots.
