Bed is within 0.18mm from lowest to highest point (according to the bed mesh), with all four corners within 0.07mm. It’s the best I could achieve. But again, this is only happening on layer 2 and 3, the bottom solid infill layers. If it was a general structural issue it should be prevalent throughout the model? but it isn’t.

Its not, that’s my shaky-cam photo skills and the angle

I think what they meant by “catching up” would happen at later layers, not later in the same layer. Basically, those layers are bad themselves but putting down enough material in the right places that a future layer will go down correct and smooth. So layer 4 being fine basically agrees with above commenter.
Are we looking at layer 2 partially complete or layer 3 partially complete? Because while I see the obvious problem on the partially complete layer, I also see problems on the layer that is complete. The back right area has tell-tell signs of too low z-offset (the very thin pinch lines coming up) but as it moves to the front of the image it looks like the z-offset is too high (not closing the gaps at the ends of lines and defined gaps between lines). Even the layer that is in progress looks like the lines are coming apart as the print head moves from back to front, like the gap is bigger in the front than back.
This all shouts levelling problem or motion system problem.
Has it always done this?
Did you get the printer new? How long have you had it? Can you post a picture of the bed mesh? What temperature was the bed when you took the bed mesh?
