Hi, I've been taking profit of the current lockdown to use my Mars more, and I've encountered an issue, or at least I have printed things for which the issue is visible.
Currently, when I print flat on the build plate, my prints come out not flat. I know that this might be due to the build plate itself not being flat and I've tried sanding it to get it flat. However, this does not seem to be good yet.
Here are two of my prints, the first being a 20mm calibration cube from earlier today (when I got my calibration right), with the base of the cube on the right. The second being a dungeon tile for my RPG games. Both are without post-cure. The curve of the cube is noticeable but not too bad, however the one from the second print is way more present.

I know printing those off the plate with supports would help, but I also would like to fix the problem. Do you have any advice on honing the build plate, or could this come from something else?
I print at around 22-23°C, using Elegoo Grey.
