Not entirely level?

I am bit puzzled here. Generally, I've had some GREAT prints, even full bed prints with the MK3, but this (picture) illustrates a trend 🙂 The far lower left and far lower right seems out of alignment - it's like it's just a very tiny bit too low on each side.

Is this a mechanical issue or setting? I've done full calibration but that doesn't seem to help.

Btw. I'm aware I need to fix the retraction settings since filament ooze a bit.

You can perform a bed level correction and manually adjust the left side of your bed. Info found here: https://help.prusa3d.com/l/en/article/TPGip0OmaP-bed-level-correction-kit-only

Those numbers/options doesn't seem to fit what I see. It's not just the left or the right side. It's LOWER left and LOWER right - at best MID left, but the top and bottom is ok. Those adjustments are just left, right, top, bottom. I can easily adjust the bed if it was the whole lower half that was off - I've never seen where it's just spots on the plate that's having issues.

Also, I tried with a different PLA filament (the white is PLA too) and here I get a PERFECT smooth result. Which definitely has me puzzled. I've had bad filament before and it's more or less random places where there are holes, but in this case the left and right side indicated in the first post, have failed with other filaments too. I particular if I'm printing a solid surface on the first layer.

I'll definitely check the white filament for consistency, but I don't feel that would explain what I see? Any ideas are welcome.
