It's the thickness of the stickers and lettering. The film has to lift up and over the edges, it will not seat down there. Every film will do that. To avoid, the sticker must be removed. Nothing can be done about the lettering on the etching.
Like @TintDude said, the etched marks on the glass will show different along with the dots and of course stickers will show a lot.
Anything other than a flat surface will show a halo. Even embedded scratches will show a white-ish look like the stickers are doing. It's just part of it. You can't have anything under the film.
As far as the compliance sticker. It can be applied to the film(after)and not the glass(first) and will still be okay. In most cases.
