First layer calibration not working properly?

I have been trying to fix my first layer, but have been having trouble dealing with what seems to be a non flat surface. My bed mesh isn't great, but I would expect it to compensate better than this?

That doesn't look like it's from a non flat bed. Just looks like poor adhesion. Have you cleaned the bed with soap and water?

I used IPA but ill try with soap and water

If you have too much grease or anything the IPA will just smear it. You should clean with soap and water first, dry it, then wipe down with IPA

I'm having trouble properly balancing EM and offset any advice

Yeah, you are over extruding or too close to the bed

ok, ill try raising it a bit

I assume you already did extrusion multipler calibration?

I don't know if you would call it calibration, but I managed to print a part and I adjusted it until the perimeters looked right (was 5 perimeter) it's still kinda weird but I can accept it

Start over and do proper calibration. Otherwise you are likely to drive yourself crazy with issues that could have been prevented

I recommend trying to adjust your bed by adjusting the frame. I had a similar range as yours and I got it down to 0.245 now and everything sticks
