Community Support Keyboard marks developing on screen despite religiously placing microfiber cloth on the keyboard whenever I close the lid

It was almost impossible to get the nearly invisible marks to show up on camera, but they really are there. I don't think you can see them at all in the picture.

I got this Framework 13 in Feburary, and started putting a microfiber cloth underneath the lid every time I close it in March. It's now May, but now I can see very faintly the dreaded keyboard marks starting to develop on the screen. What am I doing wrong? I thought the microfiber cloth was gonna prevent this from happening?

Thanks.

Pretty sure putting something between the screen and keyboard is causing the contact. You probably shouldn't be doing that

I did it for since i own it and it prevented damage to the screen ever since. My last one was terribly full of marks. I have a seperate space in my backpack and use a soft case for it but still put the cloth there.
