The outline shows where my New 3DS XL wont write. Those edges wont take input, and instead curve. What issue is this and how can I fix it?

your digitizer is either broken or dirty, you can try using a toothbrush on the sides to clean it, if that doesn't work you'll need to replace it. They're fairly cheap on aliexpress.
