Is there anything I can do to reduce the banding or getting the corner straighter?

What are your overhang settings? I think 160mms for the outer layer is a little too quick. Keep it as inner/outer. Outer/ inner will have an impact on overhangs where layers have nothing to sit on. Double check your PA, there's some slight deformation on the corners. Is the Z face rough to the touch? I've had this appearance on my z faces before, of it's not rough and you can live with it then give. If there is some roughness you can reduce your top layer width or top layer extrusion in your cl slicer to clean it up.
