AD5M PRO - Klipper Installed, Bed mesh looks horrible!

Hello!
I already have an AD5M non pro, and really, REALLY like it. I wanted an enclosure and just purchased the pro when it went on a sale on amazon.

Anyways, this time around I wanted to give klipper a try, I installed this one:

My bed mech looks horrible, I have tried different build plates just to make sure the factory plate wasnt messed up but the results are very similar across plates, smooth and textured...

I found this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/FlashForge/comments/1hj0nm0/manual_bed_leveling_ad5m/

And I think I need to start with something like this....

I have tried running the PROBE_CALIBRATE, then re-did the mesh, then re did auto leveling and first layer is coming out like trash, acting like z offset if to high in some spot and to low in others.

Is this the path I should go down (manually adjusting the bed) or is this something so out of whack I need to contact Flashforge?

Thanks!
