Uneven misaligned/warped bed? - how to adjust/fix

So I've been having some adhesion and printing problems and I think I narrowed down the cause.

Up to this point I was adjusting the Z height (live adjust z setting) when the print head was on the left side of the bed. 

This time around I started to do a more methodical approach and I noticed a problem. If the X axis is set to 180 (mostly on the right side), and then adjust the Z access. I need to drop the setting down to -1.58.  As I move the X axis to the left I notice the piece of paper between the print and and bed is getting more and more tight. I stop before it gets all the way over to the left side as I don't want to risk damaging the printhead or bed.

Conversely If I start the Z adjust height on the left side, I feel resistance on the paper at -1.38 and as I move the print head to the right, the paper gets looser and looser.

Basically it seems the Prusa Mini+'s bed is misaligned/warped, lower on the right side then the left

Could gantry tower need to be tightened? Its not loose but I wonder if I need to clamed down the screws even more.  I don't think there's play or movement in the tower part
