First layer prints too high only in the center of the build plate

Just like the title says, my kit Prusa i3 mk3s+ prints too high, but only in the center of the build plate. I can adjust the first layer height, but then it prints too low on the outside of the build plate. Here is what I've tried so far:

  • Did the nylock mod. Made no difference
  • Swapped heat beds with my other Prusa i3 mk3, which was no problem. The problematic machine still has problems.

I printed the build plate test model. All 8 of the outside squares are printed too low. The center square is printed too high. I looked into using bed level correction, but it does not help with a dipped center. Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks!

Take a straight edge and see if the platform is flat.

Perfectly flat. Also, the heatbed is from a different printer that had no problem printing the same gcodes with the same steel sheet.
