First print - PLA does not adhere to PEI base

I allow it to start printing, stop it while checking the gap then adjust the z-offset. I’ve even had it where it was clearly too close to the bed creating too much squish. Everything else is default for PolyLite PLA for the most part except for trying different bed temps. Small prints have no problems but the large ones like the picture shows are just not doable at the moment.
