Screen surface not flat

I purchased a replacement screen from iFixit. It had lines on the display that the original cracked screen doesn’t have. iFixit replaced that screen. The new screen doesn’t have any display problem, but I can’t get any tempered glass screen protectors on it. The edge has an air gap all the way around leaving me with this halo effect. I’ve tried two different brands of screen protector with excellent feedback. Do others have the same problems with iFixit screens?

Edit: picture added. If I leave this phone alone for an hour or so the gap increases to the middle of the screen almost.

Here’s the phone after an hour of sitting.

Here it is after sitting overnight. I’ll contact iFixit, just thought all this worth sharing.
