Strange first layer behavior w/ Rostock

So I wiped my firmware and reuploaded a modified version to turn the current down on my Kysan Motors and I started getting some strange behavior on my first layer, the pics will tell the story better than I can. Should I simply go back to using matter control to hone everything in like the guide says on pages 238-242 or is there something else at work here? I redid the paper thing for the bed center and I adjusted the end stops accordingly after watching about 10 failed prints but now the Y axis end stop screw is pretty much out of screw, it cannot turn right any more. If I do in fact go back to pages 238-242 in the guide should I readjust all the endstop screws to be the same prior to doing so? Any help is appreciated, thanks. I can't get over how horrible the first layers are at the points, I specifically printed these to see behavior in front of each of the towers by the way.

run your screws down an inch and start over...... and do your horizontal radius calibration, if all you did was the towers then your radius is off... unless you re -entered that number also.
