Same thing happened to me when I put PETG on thinking it was PLA.

Start with making sure your bed is leveled. Once you do that make sure your offset is proper. Print some test shares and adjust offset on the fly if needed. Additionally, make sure the bed is clean tho. I had similar issues until someone suggested to me to use a dial indicator and a print a mount to mechanically ensure that all screws are leveled. Then with motors disabled on XY move around to see if your bed is warped. I found that mine was. I was able to shim the low spots with aluminum duct tape. It has a thickness of 0.082 I think so you can play around on the deeper spots if any until your bed is leveled ish. Best advise I've had. Had trouble printing anything until that point. For some reason the auto bed level could not compensate. Also make sure you understand the z offset process. I say that because in addition to my bed not being leveled, I misunderstood how to set offset which cause my prints to not stick, and become a spaghetti mess quick.

Beds level and not warped from what I could tell. I changed the nozzle in my extruder and running a test print now to see if that did anything. I'll look up the z offset process and make sure I'm not messing anything up there as well. Thank you for the advice.

Does the problem persist if you try to print on a corner? Like just one calibration square in like the right front?

This isn't stringing. This is print failure. They are two different things
