First Layers blotchy, uneven, and has dents - uneven bed?

I am having some issues with my first layers. Sometimes there are blotches, sometimes uneven lines, and this time I am getting little dents. My bed visualizer in OctoPi looks like perhaps my bed is not leveled properly anymore? Please see screenshots attached, would love some advice.

could it be that you have used too much force while in step 19 https://help.prusa3d.com/en/guide/building-your-mini_177717 (and thus misaligning the Z axis)

Mini with FW:4.4.1 + SuperPINDA + Bondtech Heatbreak + PC4-M8 couplers + 1 piece boden

I bought the mini last year and had many many prints since then. At that point the printer didn't come as a kit and was mostly assembled. I may have had to attach the bed to the Z-axis though but I do not know why it would be causing issues now. Should I attempt to loosen it?
