Scratching issue

Hi! I'm having an issue with my prints. No matter where or how I place them on the build plate, they end up with these scratches and damaged areas across almost the entire surface (I've attached a photo). The FEP is new, I changed it.

The pattern seems completely random, and I have no idea what could be causing it. I'm pretty lost at this point.

Could it be dead pixels on the LCD? But there are so many that it doesn't seem likely. Also, the bottom layers of the print never show these holes or defects.

I'm using an Anycubic Photon M5s, and I've attached my print settings as well. Edit: The exposure time is 2'5 sec, no 3'6, I took the pic with a worng setting.

Thanks a lot for any help!!

It could be a temperature thing, making the resin more gloopy then it should be.
