So along the two sides that aren't sticking properly, they were kind of bridged on there which explains the issues, however my second attempt printing with supports resulted in the same issues. I'm wondering why that is. I'm going to start printing with the fans off to see if that is the issue, everything else looks fine though. Let me know if you guys have any advice for better quality prints.

It might just be the specific spool/brand of PETG you used. Try buying some from a major well-known manufacturer, like Overture, Polymaker, etc. I've had cheaper brands shrink, warp, have adhesion issues, and all sorts of other quirks.
