PINDA probe issue with mk3

Hi I'm desperately needing some help with my mk3. This is a new printer to me I picked up used. I have experience with Prusa's as I have had a mk2s for 9 years now. I had to completely rebuild the printer as every single screw was lose on it so I never saw it running. The issue I'm running into is the first layer is super inconsistent where after I set up the live z in for a sheet then the first print has a completely different layer height then I set. I have come to the conclusion that its an issue with the PINDA probe (not super PINDA). When I was setting the PINDA height with the zip tie like the manual said the nozzle would hit the bed so I had to lower it a little lower. I'm not sure if that's causing an issue with how the probe is reading the temp but I only lowered it maybe 1 mm. Is there any way I can turn off the temp calibration setting from the PINDA?

RE: PINDA probe issue with mk3

The nozzle should not be hitting the bed after you set the pinda with the zip tie. Is your live z set to zero when you are performing this?

Double check you are peforming this correctly.
