Hello. I’m fairly new to 3d printing myself but I own an Ultimaker S5 and follow this process. https://support.makerbot.com/s/article/1667411136256

It almost looks like it's skipping steps/shifting to the left? See on the right how it shifts, I assume that's not intentional. Check belt tension if possible or turn down the speed.
Do not print petg directly on glass either, it will be basically a permanent bond. You can use a glue stick as a release agent but still iffy IME.
Start with a smaller print like a benchy and get it working first to verify the machine and settings are okay.

I dont have anymore of the PLA Filament sadly does it Work with PVA? that maybe would still be an Option

This could be a useful resource for you if PVA is your only option

Ah OK buried the lede a bit with the clogging in your initial post. If your school has a support contract with ultimaker maybe reach out to them. Ultimakers aren't the most user serviceable machines as they're very proprietary and different than other printers.
Have you tried the other extruder on the printer? May be able to use that until the clogged one is fixed.

Sounds good let us know how it turns out. I will try to assist if possible

thank you guys very much i really appreciate it its so hard to start printing when all the help you get is I never worked with the Ultimaker so youre on youre own and you cant do this without finding out who the owner is like tf am i supposed to do (sry for my bad englisch im from germany)
last thing do you guys have recommendations for settings? like for how much heat etc because my first print still seemed to melt off the sides i send the stl file if you need a visual look at it
trim peak

Should i share my settings in the slicer? i could also screenshot the important stuff
pure elm
The 'melting off the sides' looks like the x axis is skipping steps. Kinda surprising as most printers can't really move far off the bed if at all. You can see it shifting on the far right. Due to the age the belts probably have poor tension.
Ultimaker you have is older and not really user serviceable as easily as more modern and open printers.
trim peak
ah i now understood what you meant at the beginning how can i check belt tension?
pure elm
Look for a manual for the printer it probably has some guidelines
trim peak
ok thank you
pure elm
Worth reaching out to ultimaker as well. Being a student and all they may be inclined to help and point you in the right direction.

Belt tightening could be the issue. The ultimaker has a list of maintenance tasks that perhaps aren’t being performed regularly.
Here is the list of maintenance procedures. I recommend checking this over to see if perhaps any of these are not compliant.
