XYZ calibration fails

I just assembled my MK3 and keep getting xyz calibration errors during the wizard. During step 1 of 4 of the xyz calibration I get the error that the calibration point can't be found. After reading this page from the support pages ( https://help.prusa3d.com/l/en/article/fja7hbb22y-xyz-calibration-error-messages-mk-3 ) I did a auto home and see that the PINDA probe is positioned in front of the small circle on the bed instead of in it.

The document says my axis are misaligned. What I'm now looking for is how to fix that. The selftest runs just fine and all parameters are reported ok.

I flashed the most recent firmware but that didn't help.

There is no metal sheet on the bed and I have a piece of paper between the nozzle and the bed that isn't grabbed. The nozzle doesn't hit the bed at all.

Any help on how to align the axis correctly is greatly appreciated as I now appear to be stuck on getting the printer up and running.

Was able to fix it. What I did was removing the heated bed and adjusting the bearings on the y-axis. One of the two bearings on the left could be moved back by 1mm to the edge of the metal plate. A new self test after that and calibration worked. The printer is printing the second test print at the moment.
