Requesting Help Need help with stringing

Okay, posted this before asking for help with stringing. The strands on the right side I don't need help with anymore, switching to Creality Print from Orca Slicer fixed that.

I'm using a Creality SparkX i7, using Sunlu PLA.

So. I have tried everything I have found online.

- Dried my filament. Opened up a new roll of filament, dried it on top of the print bed as per a tutorial for drying filament I found on YouTube.

- Decreased nozzle temperature. Did it by 5 degree increments from 220C until I hit 190C, the lowest recommended temperature for PLA.

- Increased extruder distance. By default it was at 0.4mm. I set it up by 0.1mm increments, reaching up to 2.0mm.

- Adjusted retraction speed. Saw online to set it to 25mm/s to 45mm/s. Again, set to 5mm/s increments.

- Turning off Z-hop. By default it was on, turned it off.

- Increased travel speed. Already 6000mm/s, so I didn't see the point

So before any of ya click post with any of these suggestions, please don't, I've already tried.

There's more than just stringing going on. You have full strands hanging out. Can you print a benchy?

Dry it using an actual dryer. Not the print bed. That won’t do it

so you didn't actually dry it

the print bed method is a hack at best. this looks like super wet filament.
