#Carriage droop between prints

Just recently, my 2.4 has been failing QGL after it has sat over night between prints. I end up having to disable steppers and lift the carriage by hand before I can start a print or the QGL will fail. The more I run QGL the more it slams the nozzle into the bed moving the entire toolhead. The belts are not worn and still have correct tension, but the carriage still seems to droop after sitting idle for more than 1 hr. The right rear is always the one the is dropping the most between prints.
Is there a way to fix this issue or are the steppers finally starting to go out. Machine is 2 years old and has never had this issue until last month.

Can you add pictures of the whole printer? It would help

I just raise it higher so I can remove the buildplate easily

but basically you move the toolhead at the front

#

before turning off the steppers

It looks like I park it in the middle, but I thought I had it configured at the front

#

The idea is to move it everywhere except the back side where the weight is
