So this is from memory but I think it's under "maintenance" somewhere and then "calibrate lift switch" (the switch that lifts the right side print core).
The procedure is extremely simple and quick. At some point you just push the print head around until the lift switch is in that slot and click a button. That's it. Do it a few times and test as it's trickier than you think but it's pretty darn simple.
There is also something called "reset to factory defaults". Something like that. That resets *all* of these positions. I don't know how this could have been messed up other than a bit got flipped somewhere so I'm wondering how many other things are messed up on the "hard drive" (it's a solid state drive). I wouldn't do "reset to factory defaults" unless there are other issues because then you lose all kinds of useful information and have to calibrate lots of other things.
Occasionally, on these printers with SSD, you have to reinstall the firmware. Yes the SSD remaps all bad blocks but it doesn't know what the old values were before they got corrupted so you have to reinstall the firmware occasionally. Everytime you update the firmware it also reinstalls all the firmware and will do so into the remapped "good" blocks on the SSD.
I've tried all of these solutions and I'm still having the issue, I've checked my limit switch and havent found any issues with them. Did the lift switch calibration with no issue and the test after. Reset to factor defaults (did the switch calibration again) and then tried to reinstall the firmware via usb but I can't seem to do it correctly as it just keeps saying searching for update or something along those lines

which solution was the fix for you? We have been having this same issue with our Ultimaker 3 and I have tried all three fixes listed and it seems to still be going to far back to the right and missing encoded steps.
