[Frame] Foveated streaming and rendering not working well? (lemmy.secnd.me)

I assume not that many here got their Frame yet but here it goes:

Does anybody else experience issues with foveated streaming and rendering?

Two issues:

I can very clearly see the blurriness in my peripheral vision, especially on shadows and sharp corners
The response time is way too slow, when blinking or moving fast from left to right I can clearly see it needs a few milliseconds to catch up

Both of these surprise me considering most reviewers said that it is unnoticeable. Makes me wonder if something is wrong with my unit/setup or if my eyes are built different.

If I disable eye tracking in the settings, everything looks good. Of course, that should probably not be the correct solution?

This happens both with native titles (e.g. Half-Life Alyx on device) and streamed titles (e.g. Half-Life Alyx on Linux and Lone Echo).

I already tried playing around with the Steam Link settings (increasing resolution, bandwidth and foveated area) but it still looks just as bad. For streaming it happens both over wifi and the dongle as well.

I use the spacer as well to fit my neanderthal eyebrows in the headset.

I played around with the left/right only setting a little bit and it appears the right eye causes the jump to the bottom right when blinking.

The left eye appears to mostly work but it has trouble reaching the bottom, I need to look a little bit into the dark area before the eye tracking goes further down. Which would explain why I sometimes can see the foveated streaming.

Not sure what causes these issues with my lenses but I wrote them a mail about it and maybe they can swap me to the eye-tracking variant since they promised working eye tracking on the Frame.
