Will not pass Bed point calibration

Hello,

Built it a few days ago and the initial calibration was fine. Today i had my first failed print because it stop extruding, but kept its layer path moving. Wasn't clogged no errors popped up. Thought i should re-calibrate it, self check passed, bed point calibration, fails every time. I haven't moved the printer at all. I also don't understand the pictures in the Misaligned PINDA forum post (it's for the MK2), M12 Bolts?

Update: I've Reset the calibrations, readjusted the PINDA multiple times (The PINDA works). How do I find the End Stops on the MK3 since it's not in the menu? It now tells me "endstop hit:".... after it fails XYZ. The PINDA stops directly over the points so i don't understand why it doesn't pass.

you see the light on the probe flashing when it crosses the calibration point?

I didnt see this comment, my bad. Yes, the light flickers when it passes over it and it's off when it stops on the last point until it raises the extruder. I'm probably just going to rebuild the y axis to see if that changes anything.
