First layer calibration fail

I have Original Prusa i3 MK3S, Printing with e-sun PLA+.
I tried all the range of heights without success. I also changed the nozzle with new one, didn't help.
Corners and small circles are terrible as shown. 
What could be the issue with this type of failure?

Best Answer by Sam:

The plate wasn't clean. Cleaning it with alcohol wasn't enough. I had to wash it under running water and soap. Now it works like a charm
