Yellow Patches on my iPhone XR

I noticed yellow patches on my screen. At first I thought it might be a software issue. Restored my phone and it's still there so I know for a fact that it's related to the hardware. But I promise I have not dropped my phone, I have no idea why this has happened. It wasn't something that grew over time but rather abrupt.

I’m unable to visit the service centre due to the pandemic as well.

I did some research and found images of iPhones in a condition that look similar to what we’re dealing with.

It says if you bought an iPhone right after the launch, you may see yellow patches because the glue under the screen has not dried up yet. But it will get better after a few days.

I know this case is nowhere near to ours since we’ve already used it for over a year but the issue could be something related to the glue maybe because the images were very identical.
