Just running a sheepsfoot roller over the clay once or twice won't compact it, it has to be run over the clay enough times so it starts to "walk up and out" of the clay.

Say a layer of clay was put down. The feet on the sheepsfoot roller sink down until the barrel of the roller is on the surface. It has to be drug back and forth until the roller is no longer touching the surface of the soil.

For an unbiased opinion that won't cost you anything, call the local NRCS office and see if they can send someone out. Ask them if they can determine if the dam core is compacted properly.
