Talk me off the ledge, this is probably a bad idea...

So after one failed/messed up print after another I decided to hold down this little button I saw on the printer board (Makerbase MKS GEN L V1.0) while everything was still on. I held it until I saw a notification on my OctoPrint screen that the connection was lost/interrupted. It now prints 99% better, however I still can't figure out why I keep getting this weird gap after the first layer and the little wave in the corners. Other than that, the print comes out great. The purple block is the most recent. How do I make the layer gap at the bottom and the wave in the corner go away?
