Today I think I got quite decent images since I could see some gold surface. But the thing is I could not see it at the molecular level. The specifics (z range, scan range, x offset, y offset, and I gain) can be found from the images below. (By the way, this surface is the oct sample that was in hexane for 19 hours.)

since I could see some pit I decided to explore more and adjusted the X and Y offset and i gain.

since I see some pits I know I was looking at the surface and wanted to see it at the molecular level. So I zoomed in but I could not see the surface at the molecular level. It seems like there's some line things tho. But I don't know that was the molecular arrangements or not.

Yeah, still I could not get the surface at the molecular level. Should I have zoomed in more? So I just decided to zoom out in order to see the surface in broader way. And I could see the swiss cheese. But the thing is that I was keep having the black area in the left and the white area in the right side. I was trying to fix it by moving around the surface (altering the x and offset) but it seemed to be not working. I wonder why.
