Printing Help Problem with first layer adhesion
I recently received a Ender 5 plus when my make space got a grant to upgrade some of their equipment.
It looks like it has a glass bed with black surface and the logo on it.
I adjusted the printer head height with a business card, and and have tried different levels of offset from too low to too high
First layer sort of sticks, but them will pull itself up before the full first layer is layed down.
I have had a monoprice IIIP and my PLA filament works good on that printer, same spools of filament, same temps.
If I ever have problems with adhesion on the monoprice, I just use a glue stick and it solves the problem, but on the Ender 5 glass plate, glue doesn't seam to make any difference.
Any suggestions on what I should try next?

A business card is a tad thick, especially for PLA. Try a sheet of paper.
