First of all, "raft" is an old technology (no longer needed for at least 5 years) for printing ABS on printers without heated beds. It's not needed for PLA and it's not needed for higher temp materials if you have a heated bed.
I don't understand what you are showing in the upper photo but in the lower photo it's not printing the bottom layer in part of your print. The bottom layer is angled. It's not flat to the print bed. I suggest you use the "lay flat" option in cura and hopefully it will fix it. Or you could rotate the part in CAD such that the bottom layer is flat. Or you could lower the part below the print bed by 0.3mm and that will lose you 0.3mm of the part but maybe that's okay. You have to go to cura settings (not print settings) and uncheck the check box that keeps you from updating the Z. Something like "Force parts to touch build plate". Something like that. Then you can "move" the part in the Z axis and set it to -0.3mm.

Cura 5.7 is here and it brings a handy new workflow improvement when using Thingiverse and Cura together, as well as additional capabilities for Method series printers, and a powerful way of sharing print settings using new printer-agnostic project files! Read on to find out about all of these improvements and more.
S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
(Sorry, was out of office when this released)
This update is for...
All UltiMaker S series
New features
Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
