Alhambra 7fc

Hello everyone
So i end up buy the alhambra 7fc guitar and its great guitar sound the feel the smell of the wood everything great
but i notice after one day the top of spruc behind the bridge was a bit high around half cm or less , i put a roller it didnt sit stright was high in the middle ,and the back also the same thing it was high in the center of it the same thing i put roller and hight half cm or less .
but the sound was great no any issues with it ,the neck was straight , only this problem

is that normal ? is that a normal high or it should be straight when i put a roller at every where of the wood ? is that a swollen ? because of humidity ? but the guitar was always be at the case and well cared of it .
so im worrying if this is a big deal or its not somthing to think about it , im not sure if any guitar should have a little bit of arch in the top behind the bridge and the back , cause i saw video it says there should be a small arch in there , what about the back , also i read because of the humidity changes .
i hope someone can help me with this i still can return the guitar from where i bought cause i could sleep because of thinking .

i will put photos also to understand if this normal or not

for the last photo also is this mark from the wood its own ? or this kind of a sign ?

is that normal ?

As far as I know - yes.

The top is very thin - otherwise it wouldn't sound flamenco. So with the tension of the strings it's normal that there are curves in various directions. Curves are built into the back too - not sure why, but it makes the guitar shape closer to the shape of a woman and that's fine by me
