Why am I having to level my Ender 3 s1 after every print? (lemm.ee)

I purchased an Ender 3S1 about two weeks ago now, and it seems like I'm having to level the bed after almost every single print.

The prints themselves are turning out fine, I just don't know how to get my bed to stay level.

I purchased these as I thought they were supposed to help keep the bed in place

I have an Ender 3 Pro and bed leveling was the bane of my life. I've more or less conquered it by using heavier springs that keep their compression and not going too tight on each corner. I also use Klipper and a BL Touch to generate a bed mesh to compensate if one corner is higher than the others.
