Constant pressure on LCD

First of all, I'm sorry if it's not appropriate to post this question here; it felt like the right place, but I'm not sure.

I just bought a tablet and a mounting arm/clamp to go with it. The issue is that the (padded) jaws of the grip are ever so slightly narrower than the tablet's thickness (given the specs, it's 10 mils/¼ mm, but that's counting the padding, which is a ~1 mm thick silicone-like overmold), therefore putting a tiny bit of pressure.

Once mounted you can see an ever so slightly grayer blotch when something black is being displayed (and I mean _slightly;_ in a fully dark room with maximum background broghtness it's barely noticeable).

I wanted to take photos, but the effect is so tiny it's impossible to capture.

My question is: would this damage the LCD in some way over time? I know that a hard hit or large amounts of pressure will irreversibly damage an LCD (and I obviously don't mean by cracking it), but IDK if such tiny amounts can have a similar effect.
