Accessories Rainbow effect/Moire with new screen protector

F11

Lurker
I recently replaced my Moto E5 plus' screen protector with one from Tauri (tempered glass) and right in the middle of the screen there is a rectangle of Moire (or "rainbow effect"). It only appears under certain lights, like fluorescent and polarized light from tv's/computer monitors, but it still bugs me since I use the phone a lot under these lighting conditions.

Is there any way to remove it? I've tried taking it off, cleaning the screen with isopropyl alcohol and then removing the residue and reinstalling it, but that didn't do a thing.
 
It sounds like those types of light are showing stress patterns in the tempered glass. Do you see the same patterns through polarized sunglasses?
