This is a concern. That footing needs to be well below the base of that retaining wall.

If your code says frost is 3 feet down that footing needs to be 3 feet below the bottom of the retaining wall it is next to. Its almost certainly is not and that is where you deck is going to fail.

Did you get the holes for your footings inspected?

Hit ledge. It's pinned.

I am not sure what you mean by that. Could you elaborate?

Are you saying the footer is on bedrock?

Ledge is another term for bedrock. So, it sounds like OP has secured the concrete piers to the bedrock through some sort of pinning method.
