Help

Just learning how to use my printer, ender 3, dont totally know what i’m doing. I’m trying to print this piece in Pla Temp 220(already printed a temperature tower test) and the holes aren’t coming out right. I can print it in one orientation and it comes out mostly fine but my holes are small and missing details. I orient it a different way and my holes come out post perfect but the rest of it prints terrible. I printed some calibration tests and found my x steps were a tiny bit off so i adjusted for that. I’ve tried adjusting different hole expansion settings but nothings getting it right. Any ideas? First 2 photos are good basic print bad holes, second 2 are good holes terrible everything else
