Pressure marks on new display

It’s the touch IC on the display flex cable that isn’t seated properly inside of the phone.

Update (02/10/2020)

Same picture but i added some arrows for guidance, this IC has to be seated well onto that spot. if it’s not installed properly you will end up with pressure marks on the LCD.

Thanks for the advice but I don’t believe that’s the issue as when it’s loose from the phone (not flush with the housing) the mark isn’t present

I'm gonna post another picture, i'm not sure if you understood what i meant. i'm aware that the screen works fine when it's not installed flush with the housing, you have to adjust the position of the flex cable so that the IC fits well on top of the loudspeaker.
