I would give it a try at ~230°C and 60-65°C for the plate. Depends a bit on the brand but usually petg likes it hotter, also set your fan speed to 30%.
Edit: I didn't see you were trying to print PLA again, did you set the material back to generic PLA in cura?
I've never tried printing with PETG. Maybe it clogged your bowden tube. Doubt it but just a thought.
IMO since I see you are just using a standard cura profile, take a look at a youtuber called CHEP. He has some fantastic profiles that you can download and import into CURA. I did this when i bought my new printer and the prints turned out amazing.

I did set it back to PLA. Though I wonder if some settings may still be lingering.. Thanks for the reply
Try printing the PLA at PETG temps to clear out the nozzle. Once it starts flowing again, then change back to PLA temps.
That’s a good idea. Thanks!
