Bed leveling in wrong direction?

After having had a lot of fun with my Mini+ over the last year and a half I ran into an issue that is driving me nuts. 

All of a sudden I can't get my first layer calibration right. The nozzle is always too close on the left side of the bed and so far away on the right that the filament is not even sticking. I re-squared the printer multiple times, checked for XZ Skew multiple times but I keep having the exact same problem. 

I have now gone so far that I actually deliberately set a slight skew on the XZ so that the nozzle is a little too high on the left compared to the right (see screenshot) and it actually seems to have made thing worse. 

It seems a crazy conclusion but; is my Prusa Mini+ correcting the bed leveling in the wrong direction? Is the SuperPinda failing? I checked the led, it seems to be working. I can get the bed level visualization pretty straight if I want, but still the filament is too close on the left and too far on the right.

Any ideas what might be wrong?

At last Sanity has returned! Turns out that the SuperPinda was lose in its holder and moving slightly while traveling. Fortunately I had another holder ready to go and, rejoice, the bed is once again leveling like it should. *Deep sigh*.
