1st Layer Issues need help!!!

I am having some first layer issues with my prusa Mk3s printer. It randomly started printing the first layer uneven. I am using Prusa PLA, along with recommend bed temp and nozzle temp. I did the first layer test and everything looked okay. However, when I try to start a print, it doesn't seem to print properly. Ill attach an example picture below. Also, my filament keeps wanting to stick to my nozzle. Any tips? Thanks in advance.

From the photo I'd say your nozzle is way too low. If you're using the inbuilt first layer calibration, ditch it for something like https://www.printables.com/model/105404

If it started recently, I'd check the PINDA holder and give the screw a bit more of a turn to make sure it's not loose.

I am still having the same issues with the printer. Ill provide a little more context to see if it helps.

1.) I always clean the bed with dawn dish soap/hot water and finally dry it with a paper towel and one final clean with 70% IPA.

2.) I currently have a 7x7 calibration setup on the printer. 

3.) My temp for first layer is 215/70 and 210/60 for every other layer. I also use Prusament PLA.

4.) I use a .4mm brass nozzle. I have also had to replace Teflon tube, Hotend, and also the heatbed thermistor. 

5. ) I will have screenshots of my settings attached. 

It prints and adhere the perimeters vey well, however it starts having the issues when the infill in being printed. after a few passes, the filamant starts to lift up and the of seems that the nozzle is dragging against the filament which I am confused by. Anymore tips?
