MacBook Pro 2021 M1 - Hinge Problem ?

I've bought a new MacBook Pro 2021 M1 2 months ago. Since this last week-end, a strange thing appears near of the hide hinges. It's like a part of a part of something that makes up the hinge. Do you have an idea ? Thank you.

M1 Macbook Air Issues with the M1 Macbook Air Hinge? Hi, Like other people on this forum I had heard a cracking sound on my macbook air hinge, but didn't really think much of it because I didn't notice any issues and thought it was maybe my computer protector cracking. Low and behold but I notice a part of my hinge coming out of of the top of my computer. I have an appointment with the Genius bar tomorrow but I need my computer for the next couple of weeks and as a result can't have it sent away for repairs. Anyone know if they can fix this in store or does it have to be sent away?

Strange clicking/cracking sound in new MacBook Pro M2 Pro hinge. Hello, There is a clicking/cracking sound in the hinge of my new MacBook Pro when the screen is tilted forwards. I have noticed that the clicking sound is loudest when the computer's lid is closed for a long period of time, and goes away when the screen is open for a few minutes. I have not dropped it and there is no visible damage to the display or hinge. Thank you :)

Hinge marks on MacBook Pro 2017 Hi, I recently purchased a MacBook Pro 2017 with Touch Bar, after using it for a couple of month I noticed there is some sort of wear/marking under the case, where the screen hinges are similar to the issue faced by another user in this post: hinge marks on MacBook Pro 13" 2017 after… - Apple Community Is there a repair for this? I feel very disappointed spending that much money on a device that's showing clear deterioration after such a quick time after very light use. Attached are some pictures of the wear.
