Not sure, maybe a color space issue? Check the color space option of the Substance Shader. You can also send me the scene to take a look.

You have to connect the image to the Bump map input:

The Normal on the bump2d shader is to chain multiple bumps and normal map shaders.

I think the height supposed to go to a normal_displacement and for the normal I would use a normal_map instead of the bump shader.

it's complicated in my project I have displacement done under zbrush that I put in the displacement node.

Substance creates for me for arnold 5 a height map and a normal, I put the normal in the bump 2d in bump.

Where do I put the height map?

Here's a thread about normal and height maps: https://answers.arnoldrenderer.com/questions/3437/how-to-manage-a-normal-and-height-map-together.htm...

You can combine a normal_map and bump2d shader as the user suggests:
