Cancel the print (or close the software). Turn off the power from the back of the printer. Unplug the USB cord, and press the little reset button. Then by hand turn the long lead screw so that the arm moves up. After it's up about half way, you can now remove the build plate and your resin tank. Clean the build plate and resin tank. Plug in the USB cord, turn on the printer, open the software and do the homing cycle again.

This time run a print without the resin tank or build platform just see if everything is working fine. If the print is working fine, you can cancel the job and restart it with the resin tank and build plate in place.

A few observations. You put way too much resin in the tank. Only 40ml of resin is needed. Also, that tank will get damaged really quickly by using the orange resin. It's recommended to use the aluminum resin tanks with the orange resin.

Just curious...what does the reset button on the printer do? Is it a good thing to do every couple of months or something?

Clears out commands from memory. Resets the connection.
