Weird Purple Squiggle Line Appearing on Rear Camera of XS Max

Hi guys,

I just recently purchased an iPhone XS Max 256 GB and shifted from an iPhone 7 Plus. I haven't dropped it or spilt anything and from what I can see there are no cracks in the screen or the camera.

I was trying to take a picture and suddenly saw this weird purple squiggle like biro ink on the captured image.

It seems to be happening when I try zooming into the picture. At normal 1x distance the photo comes out fine. Anything from 2.8x or over this purple squiggle line pops up (same shape and design)

Is this happening to anyone else's phone?
