Blobs on build surface

I wonder if anyone else is experiencing this? I have an Ender3 and Ender3 Pro. I have installed the CR Touch and the Spicer Ceramic V on both machines. When calibrating the Z - Offset, it wants to be at + 0.02. It appears that the hotend and the CR Touch are almost at the same Z distance. When I run the ‘Level Bed’, I get little blobs of plastic that seem to wipe off the tip of the hot end. So far, these have not been a problem as they are only at 9 places on the bed. My concern is that if I want to print a much larger object, these blobs will be in the objects path.

Has anyone else seen this? How do I change the hotend / CR Touch level so they are no longer at the same ‘Z’ level? Can this even be done? Did I do something wrong when I installed the hotend or the CR Touch?

Thanks
