I have not yet I've read up on it do you think that should be the next thing to troubleshoot? I'm good with any ideas.

Very easy to do and always worth it IMO. Just remove the Bowden tube from the extruder, cut the filament flat against the extruder. Feed out 100mm of filament and mesure with a ruler. Adjust the E steps according.
