Grinding sound when starting print

I have a mars 4 ultra and it makes this sound when I try to start printing. Then it stops and says "file error".

I have tried leveling with a thicker paper, setting the z offset higher than normal, tightening the plastic sheet.

Even though it was dumb I tried leveling it while resin was in, but then the rest print didn't even stick to the plate.

I've gotten several successful prints with this machine before, this started happening out of nowhere.

I'm wondering if it may need to be lubricated? In which case I would also like to ask if the bottle of 3-in-1 in the back would work?

Help

I am dragging and dropping files and while doing so, I was casually reading stuff about torrenting, and learned that it was like a shared pool thing. Am I destroying stuff for everyone cause it's no longer in the folder I downloaded? I can put all the stuff back and just copy it if so, I just really want to make sure that I'm not being a huge dick to others.

Also any other completely essential like, courtesy or etiquette stuff I should know? I'm probably only going to use this program like 4 times, so I don't need to know fancy stuff. Just how to, idk, pass by, get my stuff, and anything I should do after that?

Mars 4 ultra leveling

The build plate is tighter against the screen on the back half, and then even tighter on the back left quarter. Do I screw it tighter or something? I was gifted the printer so I didn't put it together so idk.

Everything I can find online just talks about misalignment, not one side being lower then the rest of the build plate.
