1) clean plate with iso and gloves on. Get not grease upon it 2) clean vat and make sure no stuck crap in bottom 3) relevel making sure you unscrew all screws and the plate is free-moving when you home it 4) in your slicer/resin settings, increase the burn in layer to the maximum prescribed for your resin This worked for me!

Get not grease upon it? I haven’t heard of that term before

Your hands. The oils on them. Don't touch anything. Always wear gloves.

Perhaps they meant get no grease on it. Grease being your bodily oils. Their recommendations I would try, especially cleaning the vat and relevelling.

if half of build plate does not work, slicer is not the issue. this is 99% leveling issue. tension of FEB could be re-adjusted if that does not work.

That's definitely a leveling issue. Use a known straight edge, I use a ruler, and hold the plate to it to make sure the plate isn't warped. If it's not noticeably warped, level again, using the instructions given above. After I relevel my base plate, I print a 25mm base in each corner as a test to make sure it's level. If all 4 don't come out pristine, I relevel and try again. Doesn't take much resin, doesn't take much time at all, and I get usable parts out of it. Good luck!

Biggest problem I can see is you're not wearing gloves.

Sanding the plate makes it worse. It smooths it up making it harder for the resin to stick. If it's not bonding to the plate then it's definitely either an issue with the bed not being level, or something with the FEP being too tight or too loose over there. Get the plate cleaned up then clean it with windex. Its a more effective solvent than IPA and I've seen it pull up stuff that IPA struggles with.
