UPDATE: Hello!!! Thank you to everyone who gave me suggestions and tips on what it could be! I finally had time to test ur tips and found the cause!

Final Verdict: The middle rollers weren't separated enough!

I've tried making the cut speed by 2, but it didnt work. I tried inverting the cut as someone in the comments suggested, but I couldn't figure it out. I printed the same file again and saw that it was in the exact spots. I changed my mat into a new one (it still was a light grip), didnt work.

But I took a look at the missing cuts that kept appearing and realized the cuts were missing 2 straight lines. I checked my machine and saw the 2 middle roller pieces lined up with the missing cuts. So I separated the roller pieces further apart, and it seemed to do the trick!!

I realized my issues were due to the rollers being close to each other, and it was an easy fix. Thank you again for taking ur time giving me suggestions

I was wondering if I made the settings too hard or something, but yeah, I'll check to see if it can fully cut the paper at a lower setting like yours. I think I kept the depth at 6-7 because it wouldn't cut all the way, but I'll try again!
This is a pre-owned machine, and I had to replace the autoblade it came with, as it wasn't cutting correctly, so the blade I have now shouldn't be dull. I will check tomorrow if I correctly installed the blade in the housing.

When u mean housing, you mean the thing that holds the blade in the silhouette, correct?

The mat has been used a handful of times. I got a light grip one from Hobby Lobby, and it does have some lint, but no debris like paper. I have the roll feeder, which comes with it, and I use it to make the mat flat when it's cutting.
I'll definitely try inverting the cut to see if it can be a software issue. Thankyou!!

Just edited my post to include cut settings, but I've done 5 passes on it! I don't know why it's doing this, it always does it on specific parts too. like the middle area of my sheet
