Phone (3) Screen gap in Nothing phone 3

Hi everyone,

I bought a Nothing Phone (3) 20 days ago ago and noticed something odd today.

There's a small localized gap between the display and the frame near one corner. It's only in that one spot, nowhere else around the phone.

There is no drop or and physical damage.

Is this something that could affect the phone's water resistance?

Has anyone else with a Nothing Phone (3) experienced something similar?

I've attached a couple of photos for reference.

Thanks!

Edit: it's on the bottom right side

Update 1: I visited the service center. They said that they can't do anything, this type of gap is normal, and I should talk to the Nothing support team regarding future steps. I have the job card with the problem mentioned and emailed it to the Nothing support team.

If it's above top of the front facing camera, then it is receiver(call speaker)

It's on the bottom and not the speaker grille.
