video ribbon cable caught in screen hinge

I just bought this MacBook last week and I am loving it. The only problem I have is that the screen makes a crinkly sound when I open it fully. I believe it's the monitor cable that connects to the logic board - I can see it through the hinge. Is this something that is normal due to the size or should I be concerned? Everything looks and works great right now

Thanks

MacBook, macOS 10.14

Display Artifacts When I open the macbook (A2141) the display is severly corrupted when the screen is positioned at different angles. If I tentatively move the screen through the opening arc it sometimes fixes itself. This looks a lot like a flex cable issue, but it's not affecting the backlight in this instance.

Macbook Pro M2 shrinks display, hiding notch and widening bezels on the side I have a 16" M2 Macbook Pro, and I've noticed that some times the display shrinks down so that the top and size bezels are quite large. The notch is effectively hidden, and 1 cm or so of screen is black on either side. This happens whether applications are fullscreen or windowed. Taking a screenshot reveals that the display is still at its full resolution, just shrunk a tiny bit and with a black border. This happens usually within a day of turning on the computer, and restarting the computer is the only thing that fixes it. I have not used any external monitors with the computer. I am using MacOS Ventura. If anyone else has this problem, or knows how to rectify it, please let me know. Restarting my computer once a day is becoming a pain.

thin horizontal lines on macbook pro There seem to be tiny, horizontal lines across my whole monitor. I can't really point to when this started, though it seemed to begin at the bottom of my screen (mostly on the dock) and then covered the whole screen. Also by it's nature, I cant really get a good picture of them. I tried looking at other threads about this but most are either from many years ago or unresolved. Any help would be great!
