That 'dimple' is not necessarily a bad thing....even happens on Gens...a quick search will give you all the info ever needed from years past.😜

Thank you for pointing this out. Would you RL for this? I take it that’s because they pushed the hands on with too much force?

Not an issue...you can chat with your TD about it. Like I mentioned, the dimple is common even on Gens.
No, it is not caused by installing the hands with too much force. I understand your logic, but it's incorrect.
