Roof wormanship

I just purchased a 2020 montana high country 295RL in December.
I got up on the roof for the 1st time and noticed that the plywood in 2 places are raised up a 1/8th inch over the other plywood sheet in some places and the seams between the different sheets of plywood, the roofing material is bubbled up and not even glued down all the way across the entire seam.
It seems to me they would of made sure that the roof seams between each sheet of plywood would be level and glued down better.

I have to really watch were i step , not to step on plywood seams.
Anyone else seen this problem?

Here is a picture. Not very good one but i didnt want to get up all the way on roof . Starting to rain. But if you can zoom in on it you can see one of the seams i was talking about.

roof

Are you saying that you feel movement when you step on the plywood seam?

Here is a pic of my roof, and a seam is visible in the foreground. I suppose I would describe the membrane is "bubbled up" over the seam; however, I do not feel any movement in plywood if I step on the seam. I am just trying to get a better feel for exactly what you are seeing on your roof.

Ya there is alittle Movement
On the plywood. But when you get down and feel the seam there is a 1/8 inch height differance between the 2 pieces of plywood.
But i also see your roof Membrane looks like mine.
Were the seam is , the roof Membrane isn't Glued in the seam either.
So i now kind of know that maybe thats the way the roofs are Built.
