Probe X and Y problem

If I make a Z probe then an X and Y probe on a plate placed approximately on the bed, the cutter will be placed on zero X; zero Y and zero Z correctly BUT it will not keep the X and Y axis therefore the X and the Y will not follow the reference part but the X and Y axis of the milling machine... I hope Made me understand and do you have a solution so that the probe can compensate for the bad placement of my raw material on the bed?

Thanks for your help or advice.

Sounds like you want to know what to do about rotation of the material on the table. Do a little research in the forum or in manual (or google...) on use of G68 (coordinate rotations).

With use of a few probing routines, you can set a corner to 0 as you've done already, then go and run another probe routine and rotate the coordinates by probing an edge to get the angle.
