How to fix bulging corners & print seams.

I have a Modix Big 60 V4 printer and have been trying to find the right slicing settings to successfully perform a print with the two printheads. I've had three main problems that I have been battling, which are oozing, bulging corners, and the print seams.

For the oozing, I've tried changing retraction settings, wipe towers, ooze shields, and standby temperature. I ended up creating my own "purge" tower because the ooze pieces kept on getting depositing on my model during the tool change. For some reason, when the extruder heats up, it touches down on the model (thus dropping the material on it), then goes to the wipe tower/ooze shield, so this way most of the material was deposited on those towers. Both extruders have the same settings for the same brand PLA.

I'll be attempting to lower my bed temperature from 65C to 60C and maybe 55C to see if that helps with the corners, as well as reducing the 1st layer speed to 20 mm/s. And for the seams, I have no clue what to try except changing the seam position to aligned.

Does anyone have any advice for fixing any of these issues?

Try decreasing it in 5°C increments until you find a sweet spot.
