Not sure what you mean you "SET" the first layer for. It should be the same size as all the other layers. The only difference is it will be slightly squished due to the initial .2 or .15 clearance between the bed and nozzle that you achieve by leveling. This also could be part of your issue.

Have you tried shimming under the glass in the low areas to make it level?

so i got a nice flat piece of glass. leveled bed the find the front right corner is always higher then then the rest of the bed. so when the printer goes into that area it gets close enough to stop pushing out filament...so the anything printed in that area like my start lines builds up pressure and then when it gets to were it can print the pressure pushes out more then needed material Stupid 3 dial bed leveling system. The middle prints are coming out .35mm as I set for first layer when they don't mess up.

Glass and hairspray works well with ABS.

Will the Heat from the Heated Bed work with that? I use abs for some of my prints.

After some testing and leveling the print bed I have figured out the print bed bows .2mm down or more in the middle then where the leveling screws are. its even worse between the front corners. I contacted xyz about it to see what they say but figured I would let you all know about the issue to see if its a common issue or just my printer.

With XYZ a bowed bed is more common than a flat bed. Your best option is get a piece of tempered glass cut to the same size and put it on top of the existing bed then add an offset in your start gcode for the new height.
