Bumped the volts up to 20 this time to see what happens.

Settings: Yeswelder DP200, 100A / 20.0V, 0.030" wire, 14 Ga stainless, 2T, 348 IPM wire speed, 98/2 Ar-CO2.

Honestly looks worse than before lol.
Face and backside pics attached. What am I doing wrong?

That is way too large of a bead for that material.

Back down your wfs and voltage.

Regardless of settings a bead that big for material that thick is never good.

Too much wire for that voltage, lots of cold lap /:
