Calibration XYZ home problem MK3S
Hello everyone,
Some time ago, I built my Prusa MK3S. the first prints went fine, but probably because I turned off the printer too early one time, the PTFE tube clogged. I changed it, and everything seemed fine. Sadly, this appeared not to be the case. when I did the XYZ calibration, the LCD throwed an error. I first checked the PINDA probe, and everything seemed fine. some trouble shooting later, I discovered that the extruder is in the wrong position when it starts the calibration. The PINDA probe isn't directly above the first calibration point. The auto home of the printer, though, is on the correct position. therefore, I think nothing is wrong with the belt tensions, but it's something else.
I have some things I want to print soon, so I would like to fix this problem.
How can I make the extruder start in the correct position during the XYZ calibration process? And why does the extruder start in this wrong position in the first place?

The problem is solved. The trapezoid nuts were accidentally installed upside down.

Here is a picture of the position in which the extruder starts the XYZ calibration.
