I got a photo but it doesn’t show up that well, think I will leave contacting Apple as it is very minor, none of my other iPhones have this, it’s just annoying.
Sorry but can't see it.
I think you are making the right choice about contacting Apple. No way if my phone was perfect except for this that I would take the risk of exchanging . . .. not worth it!

I have a case on it anyway so meh, it’s one of those things. I have had so many iPhones I have had to exchange to Apple in the past for more worse defects than this so as you say I may as well keep this one instead of getting an exchange which may even have an even worse defect.
I don't see anything either. I wanted to mention the molecules off by several microns but thought that would be dishonest.
Honestly nothing wrong with your phone OP.
Every week some remarkable things happen to you:
Spiders, tint, toilets and invisible glue...
I’m calling again OCD

I'm either blind or there's nothing there buddy. 
And I'm very particular.

I sometimes am a bit too ocd about my phones, I just like things perfect I suppose.
Here are some more images, makes it a bit more noticeable. I managed to get a but of paper in the gap but couldn’t remove the glue.

I'm wondering if that could be the seal to prevent water and dust going in?
I wouldn’t worry about it. Judging by that picture it’s so hard to see it’s best just to get on and enjoy the phone. Enjoy
