V-Core 500. X Axis

Here is my height map. I have watched the video and didnt see my specific mesh as an example. I spent a lot of time making sure the frame was true and square. As you can see the lines between the three axis points are in the same plane but the rear corners seem to sag. there is nothing loaded on the plate corners so i am guessing it is the beds own weight. is there a remedy for this? I let the system warm up and then losened the X-Axis and retightened after and the mesh didn't change. I didn't do the same with the Y-Axis but i see that maybe that could help? I understand i could fill the corners with kapton tape as a last resort but wanted to check in first.

Here is the mesh after i placed a sheet of glass on the bed, so it seems to me the issue is in the sheet steel or the magnet sheet .there also seems to be some bowing in the Y i should solve. How can i address the former issues? sanding?

yes it is plate sag on these VC5's yours look pretty damn good! I'm assuming you're pics above are room temp? See what kind of bow you get when heated over kill https://discord.com/channels/582187371529764864/1056263255842099331/1056263255842099331

it was heated, i kept it heated the enire time i did my experiments at 60c since thats its typical temp, it got into all the extrusions as much as it will so im confident it will hold up to time.
