#Top layer overextrusion + layer shifts

I have a modified Ender 3 printing Polymaker Polylite ASA. using default filament settings with retraction and cooling tuned for my fan/hotend setup and orbiter extruder Just switched over to Orcaslicer as I got my printer back running and now I've lost some of my settings. I have most tuned back in correctly, however on my top layer I am having a miserable time getting it tuned. It's overextruding a lot it appears to me even though I have the top layer flow turned down as well as internal solid infill. Settings for line width and flow are screenshotted in post as well as some print pictures. I believe this is the root of my layer shifts as it seems to happen at the transition to/from solid infill. its overextrusion of some form but its only on top layer. Last time I tuned my printer for structural parts, I used the voron PIF requirements and tuning guide, which I cannot find anymore. I found the basic settings to use, however I cannot find the guide that I used to get as perfect as they were before. please guide me to some testing or methods to use to get this back or if theres a known issue in orcaslicer please advise. I've found a few other spots its been weird but nothing has been this bad. I've had to fail 3 structural parts now due to this.

What really confuses me is my bottom layers look good which I'd figure they would look bad like the top layers do but they don't

restive edge
#

No bottom is pressed against the build plate

#

Looking at your toplayers and the squish i say xaxis is tilted

X axis you think? Might be y looking at printer itself. I’ll see if I get the chance to mess with it today, would it just be loosen and retighten axis or what?

Y axis was in fact really bad

restive edge

so i was off by only one axis
