Thank you for the photo.

Don't User Keyboard Covers:

Do you ever use a keyboard cover? If so, that would have caused this from residue. Keyboard covers can cause condensation to occur.

The keyboard is never supposed to get that close to the screen.

Physical problems like the one you describe are best dealt with in person with an over-the-counter live inspection at the Genius Bar an Apple-owned Store. They are always booked up, so an appointment is required.

There, they can inspect and correct any possible mis-alignment or other issues that could be causing the keyboard to be too close to the screen and causing this issue, and MAY be able to do some advanced cleaning techniques under controlled conditions not available to the general public. Ask them in person.

Usually those type of keyboard imprints on the Display means the keyboard has rubbed off the anti-glare coating of the Display. There is no way to clean those marks as they are not stains or grime. The only option would be to have a very expensive repair to replace the Display Assembly. I know Apple had a secret free repair program for this issue, but I don't think the issue is severe enough to qualify even if the secret repair program is still active. I think it only covered up to 2017 models and only for up to 5 years after the original purchase of the laptop.
