Added a PEI plate for my Artillery Genius using bull clips, and after leveling the leveling/adhesion test print comes out like this. Is this just me leveling the bed too close to the nozzle, or is it the pei plate not heating up as much as the original glass bed? It's at 60c btw

Looks like that's a magnetic spring steel bed. You need to use a magnetic plate below that that's glued to the bed below.

The magnet will pull the spring steel bed flat.
