Is there typically a warp on the top right of the 14" MBP M1x screen?

Since I've bought my 2021 Macbook Pro M1x, I've noticed that in reflections the upper right of the display warps the light. There is also a bit of backlighting that escapes through two spots in the far top of the right side of the screen. After paying closer attention to this, I notice that when closed there is a larger gap on the right hand side.


The Macbook has not been dropped or sustained any injury, and I've seen this since it was brand new I just figured it was typical of the design. The noticing the backlight bleed and case deformation however seems to be unacceptable.


Thanks for any input!

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 12.3
