    You may need to set a Z Offset using M565 in your start up script, place it between the G28 and G29 and start with M565 Z-1.0 then if it's too far make it less negative, too close make it more negative.

    Startup GCode block which is under SCRIPTS under thee Process editor

    G28 ; home all axes
    M565 Z-1.0 ; set the offset for auto-leveling mechanism
    G29 ; run auto-level
