X alignment issue

Hello, we are having an issue with our new xp600. Everything is functioning well after weeks of use and our largest print had been 11" x11".

I attemped to print 12" x 12" and it printed offset on the x-axis, printing on the film guide. Tried some calibration of x-motor but nothing seemed to help.

I ran some tests to confirm the following:
Smaller prints print fine.
Printer head is aligned for cleaning and has been running for weeks.
Our 11x11 was offset, just didnt cause an issue, so its been that way since setup.
11" wide canvas printed measures correctly at 11 inches wide.
RIIN has no margins set.
Betterprintapp homes x-motor without issue.
Printer power cycle homes x-motor without issue.

Please see image, which shows film guides and white aligment lines under the film, and the ink not aligned with the lines under the film and ink is ontop of the left film guide.

Thanks,
Tony

I emailed support and got back some fairly generic response but in working through their items to look at I noticed that BetterPrintApp has an x-margin as the top/left first field so now I feel dumb. My was defaulted to 30, but after trying a few, 17 was closest to centered and the maximum printable area (315mm/12.4").

Hope that helps anyone having the same issue.
