Flickering White Lines on the Edges of macbook m3 Screen

I noticed white lines on the edges of my MacBook's screen while watching a YouTube video in full-screen mode. The video content near these lines seems to shift slightly. When I lower the video resolution from 4K to a lower setting, the white lines disappear, but there is still a noticeable movement of the content near the screen edges. I didn’t notice it outside of the web browser, I’m currently watching an HDR video in VLC, and I don’t see those white lines. I experimented with different types of YouTube videos, and I didn’t notice the white lines on SDR videos either. It seems the issue only occurs with HDR videos. What could be the problem?
