So I've noticed this scratch-like mark on my Macbook Pro TouchBar, It is noticeable by pointing a light at it. I just got this MacBook back from the Apple repair center and I'm wondering if they scratched it. here's an image.
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.4
This mark (if indeed under the surface of the Touchbar) is the delamination of the touchbar's LCD from the inner surface of the touchbar screen. I have a Garmin GPS automotive satnav that is delaminating in the same way. To get displays thinner, a lamination process is used to fuse the LCD to the inside of the top glass of the display. If the MacBook is still under warranty take it back in for repair before it gets worse. Once it starts delaminating, the process is most times a runaway process where it will continue to get worse as time goes by.

Why is it worrying you? Treat it as a sign of use and experience.
UPDATE: This mark seems to be under the touchbar
Thank you for your answer I will talk to Apple about this and bring this in for repair.
