I've never been able to get a clean first layer with this machine. I have given it a beacon probe and it just made it much faster to get the same problem to happen again. Where am I going wrong?

Try carefully washing the surface with dishwashing soap, rinse and dry before next print. That spot might have something not visible on it that prevents filament from sticking. Grease, dust or residues from some filaments tend to cause that.
