You can manually move the print head around on the bed if the motors aren't activated. I would test the space between the nozzle and the bed with a piece of paper. When it is zerod on the z-axis the paper should just grip the nozzle as you move it around. You may have to do some manual adjustments to get it close before the auto leveling feature works well. Not familiar with this brand.
I've never had the bed so hot for PLA before, usually 55 max. Not sure if the added heat may be contributing. What temp is the room at? Make sure the printer is not in a breezy area like near a vent or window.
