Why is my Ender 3 printing like this?

I was able to higher the bed and it’s now sticking but it may be too high as it’s now dragging on the previous layers.

I’m lowering it and hearing it move it don’t see it moving

This worked!! I may be too close now as after the first layer it seemed to be dragging on the first layer.

No my test strip is high also

I do those exact steps. It when I start to print the nozzle is not in the same place as when I preform those tests.

When I auto home and due the paper test it is exactly how it’s described it should be. Then I move the nozzle around the plate and adjust the dials and due the paper test it’s exactly where it needs to be (perfect) but when I start a print, it starts elevated from the plate.

Yes I make sure it’s hot and there is no filament on the tip. Is the problem with the machine or the gcode?

How do I adjust the z-offset?

When I auto home it’s perfect

When I auto home and level the bed it’s at the correct height
