Seeing temperature characteristics change when the clips are moved doesn't really surprise me. We all know these heater boards aren't all that flat or rigid, and changing the clip locations likely shifts where the heat bed is touching the glass and where it isn't. If you happen to end up with even a very small gap between the thermistor area of the heat bed and the glass, that area of the heater circuit board will heat up faster than if the board is pressed against the glass and drawing heat into the glass.
Yeah, the only reason I use a cloth is for faster heatup and evenly heating the glass plate. As for clips, I have added 3-4 more clips, some smaller ones.
