Some additional information:
I have a standard Voxelab Aquila with N32 Board. Upgraded already to DirectDrive and use it with a raspberry running Octoprint.
I own an Ender and installed alternative firmware (mriscoc professional firmware) which gives me a feature to probe the bed on multiple points and store this mesh in memory.
Now the firmware 'knows' about all the holes and hills on the bed and compensates for it.
You want to look for terms like bed mesh leveling, when you've got a probe attached, this technique can really help.
And don't forget to check if you have to tell your printer to use the saved mesh. I had to add a line to my start g-code. (ender 3 s1; M420 S1) There are also g-codes that can deactivate it again.
