R10 Pinlock causing scratch

I have two Alpinestar R10’s with this issue. I got both of the pin locks installed by motorcycle shops, what is causing this? I’ve never had this happen to other brands of helmets before. Both of the visors in both helmets look like this, keep in mind one of the helmets I use maybe once every 4 months so it barely even sees the sun/rain. The other I use daily.

Edit: One of the helmets I’ve had for ~8 months, however only used maybe 3-4 times and only at night with no rain.

Other helmet I’ve had for ~4 months, used daily.

The pinlock was installed day of purchase by the workers at the gear shop. The damage is only INSIDE the visor, if you run your fingers across it you can feel a rough surface where the frosting is.

Update: I’ve just taken the helmets back to the vendor I got them from and they’re giving me new visors, it’s apparently a common issue with the R10 visors and the newer gen pinlocks. Thanks for everyone’s help!
