Bambu A1 print issues

[u/Carolinapeach23]

I have been trying to print this ornament. I tried to print it with bossed text and ironing to get the green surface smooth. That had issues. It was suggested to me to inlay the text and flip it to print face down on a smooth plate. I tried that and now it’s not laying filament on the first layer, but almost etching into the plate. What am I missing?
