    Should it look like this. Looks cupped? It's glued down.

    99% for sure there's a moisture problem present causing the cupping, this will occur due to the flooring gaining or losing moisture on top or bottom of the board faster than the the other!!!

    Yep,

    Cupping = the outside edges of the board lifting, caused by excessive moister from the subfloor

    Crowning = The center of the board raising , caused by excessive moister above the flooring.
