i tried to print something but i keept getting the same result in the first layers:
I have no clue why this happend.
i have tried other print files, it was not long ago i cleaned my plate and same thing with other filaments.
I am not sure if it’s the lighting, but it still looks like it need a hot bath
Other than that maybe try to recalibrate

Lots of posts here of similar issues. Look into proper build plate cleaning, recommended build plate temperatures (higher temps help with textured PEI), and also look into drying your filament. All of those can produce results like you are seeing.

As mentioned by @Botolo78 and @MZip , your plate is in urgent need of a good scrub. Warm water + diswashing liquid + a stiff, clean brush + plenty of muscle grease to get residue out of the valleys of the textured plate.
Maybe add a good splash of Isoprop before and after.
Also, keep in mind that new filament frequently has moisture in it due to the sea cruise and water diffusing into the bagging.
So cover the basics:
- Dry your filament
- Clean your build plate

i have cleaned it and put some glue and calibrated it, still its not working.
when it extruds the wheel that pusheds the filament is a bit forward and backword and doing a clicking sound.
and its not the filament beacuse my other printer prints fine with the same filament

Extruder clicking indicates a further issue. Either:
- Loose toolhead screws. Unlikely since it looks that prior prints were successful but an easy check.
- Heat creep having blocked the cold end. Again, unlikely but possible. Related to the following item.

As for the filament printing OK on other printers: The same spool right now? Then the filament is OK’ish. If not: You’ll get better results with drying. Filament Drying Recommendations | Bambu Lab Wiki

About printing fine on other printers - that may not be a valid point unless they are the same kind of printer. The reason is Bambu put a premium on print speed. Printing at different speeds / flow rates may (probably?) affect how susceptible printing is to whatever is causing you problems - if the printers are significantly different in speeds / flow rates.

it only does this when printing and i have changed the temp but same problem
Dude (dudette?) that is not good 
Assuming you have an A1 I’d start checking this wiki A1 troubleshooting | Bambu Lab Wiki

How do you dry filament? I’ve never heard of doing something like that
I’m in need of similar help. Here’s my issue. My printer is only about a month old. It was printing great. We had some PLA that seemed of poor quality and we had a failed print. That night, I tried printing a model that I had printed about 6 times previously with stellar results. The first layers went down perfect. Over night, and probably around 50% done, the center of the model (a hexagon fidget) apparently came loose and the toolhead was banging around and making all kinds of noise. There was a massive blob. Over the next week, I managed to remove the blob, replaced the hotend and the heating assembly, and reassembled. I also cleaned the PEI textured plate with dish soap and alcohol. I started the same print again, once again over night. I monitored it until it was about 40% complete. Somewhere around the 50% mark, it again experienced a failure. This time, the print finished but left a hole in the middle. The model prints two at a time, and although the second seemed perfect, we later discovered that there is a very poor layer (or several layers). It’s almost as if the hotend is hitting the layer or doing something else to cause adhesion issues (both on the plate and certain layers). Before this print, I did run the Tramming process and printed a test layer that looked reasonably good.
I had a problem with prints not adhering recently. I replaced the hot end heater, but you might want to just try removing it and tightening all the screws on it and reinstall. I also had an issue where I installed the nozzle wrong, the latch looked closed, but was not closed correctly. Both of the contributed to poor bed sensing and first layer not sticking correctly.
Clicking when extruding suggests a partially clogged nozzle. Try a cold pull, see Bambu instructions for details. May need to do it multiple times to clean it out. Or have you tried a new nozzle?
I had a print that did this almost exactly. Turns out the file I was printing didn’t have a flat bottom and was “contacting” the print bed in a handful of spots. I removed a thin layer in Blender of the bottom of the model and it printed perfectly after that. I’ve also had excellent luck with a clean bambu textured or smooth PEI with no glue. If I see fingerprints, I’ll wipe it with alcohol. I’ve got about 150 hours on the current plate doing this. Check bed temps because that can be a major adhesion issue.
A quick and dirty alternative is to move the object in the slicer slightly below the build plate.
