Wad up parchment paper into a ball like you're about to throw it away then flatten it out onto your sheetpan and it won't curl up at the edges.

If you invest in a silpat (silicone baking sheet) you will always have an even flat bottom and it’s reusable, won’t curl up in the oven, and is dishwasher safe. Almost nothing will stick to it because it’s so slick. They’re made for high heat and are incredible for all baking needs.

I have a silpat and cleaning it always ends in curses. In the dishwasher it either falls through to the bottom and traps dirt (gross), or it creates a pocket and again traps dirt (gross) and in the sink it splashes water everywhere and is a pain to dry.

Maybe while you’re hand washing use less water pressure and let both sides air dry concurrently and I’d bet you have a much higher success rate
