What is this mark? Post ppf

I recently got my car ppf'd with xpel from an authorized xpel installer. I only got the ppf about a month after getting the vehicle because I noticed how prone the paint is to chips and swirl marks. The installer said they would touch up and buff out as much as they can before applying the ppf. I also gave them black sapphire metallic touch up paint and clear coat from bmw.

The day I got back the car, I noticed these white marks, they feel completely smooth, and I don't understand where they came from. I never noticed it before. The PPF is slightly covering it. I'm wondering what it could be before I message the ppf installer. Did they cause this damage? I'm wondering if when they heat the edges it ended up causing paint damage on the plastic bumper?

It looks like the solution they sprayed to apply the ppf had some soap or something that collected there and didn’t get squeegeed out.
