Cut Line Alignment Out. Hardware or Software Issue?

Ruida 6445G on a DIY 65x36" Laser and Lightburn

I recently had some issue with my laser and ended up doing a beam alignment, cleaning and belt tension. I am having issues with my cut line lining up and corner radius that are supposed to be .125" are sporadic. I thought maybe I got my belts to tight so I loosened them but I am still having the same issue and I am not sure if maybe this isnt a hardware issue and maybe something with controller? Or am i having a belt related issue on direction changes? I can cut the same pattern multiple times and get the issues in different places. The variance in the radius almost looks intentional and alternates sides per pattern.

Thank you.

That’s a big machine. Did this just happen?
I wonder is something is loose: mirrors, mirror mounts, the tube shifts, lens, belts or pulleys?
Zoom in on the vector image and see if they are actually connected. See if the gaps show up in the file.

Found the issue today. Had a stepper motor belt pulley set screw back out on me
