I’m not sure If this is what it’s supposed to look like on certain areas the bed appears to be level. It’s an ender 5 pro I’ve had nothing but issues with attempting to make sure the bed is level, and calibrating everything.

Step 1: Switch to Orac.
Step 2: Do all of the calibration tests.
Step 3: Try again.
I used to use Cura a lot....I tested it heavily against Orca and haven't gone back

I’m gonna try orca out tonight. My whole hotend is clogged, and I could see it leaking. I’m gonna disassemble it and clean it tonight, re calibrate the whole thing and re slice the file with orca and try again.

uh...yeah that might also be an issue LOL. If it's leaking it's losing pressure, so yeah...fix that. That will likely solve your problem you're seeing.
I still say switch to Orca, but first fixt that and retry printing with Cura. Just check the see if that solves the underlying issue before you go whole hog and change a bunch of variables.

Yeah that definitely sounds like a better plan, I’m gonna retry with cura with my existing settings after I completely clean the hot end and re assemble it correctly, I pulled the fan off last night and seen the leak and realized I had a different issue lol
