    I see one of the switches is out of alignment so i put it back in line after watching the video. should they be at the top of the arm under the hot end carriage?

    If you are setting the Z offset in the Startup GCode it is done via the M565 command:

    G28 ; home all axes
    G1 Z5 F5000 ; lift Z by 5mm
    M565 Z-0.6 ; more negative -> further away from glass bed
    G29 ; run auto-level
