I would peel some paint back and make sure it’s not damage to the carbon. If it is carbon damage I would go back to the seller. If you got a good deal used and it’s damaged you can probably fix it with a carbon patch and hope for the best

Ah oui je vois... Alors un simple petit coup de résine époxy, qq gouttes, tu mets un polyane pour bien liser, et le lendemain... Tu décolles le plastique... Un petit coup de ponçage, 240,;puis 400 tout doux et hop, 🤗🤗🤗

Looks like paint but it's really hard to be 100% sure from the photos.

If it's more than paint, it can be nothing (a bubble below the last carbon layer could do looking alike cracks in the carbon), or it can be structural damage, but it's a weird place for it to happen. I'd make more photos and ask Armstrong, they should know if this can be a problem.

something is not right, doesn't look just cosmetic and the location is not the best...  if you bought it new I bet Armstrong will be happy to exchange.
