Bad 2nd Layer (edited with images)

Please help me adjust the setup for this print.
I have three attempts at this project. Each time the first layer comes out nicely. Each time the second layer starts nicely then, stops laying down an even layer.

another piece on the build plate

0.10 mm height
Amazon Basics PETG
First layer 220° C
Other layers 230° C

Re: Bad 2nd Layer

Only JPG images seem to make it here. Even then, some with large META data spaces fail. And any print problem requires images to begin to help.

Looking at the first layer visible in the first image you seem to have an uneven bed level. The very top left looks perfect but as it moves to the right and down its starting to look as if you are too close to the bed and filament has started forming ridges by squeezing out the sides of the nozzle. Try either raising the nozzle a bit or reducing the filament flow by 5% or so.

Thank you for your idea. Your answer lead me to adjust the z level.
