Am I stupid??

Fox is basically telling me the bike is putting uneven load on my shock which is causing these vertical scratches on the left side, and it is not a warrantee issue. All bearings are good, all linkage bolts torqued to spec, wtf is causing this??? And now I feel like Im wasting my time buying a new shock if supposedly the bike is the problem according to Fox. Brand new 8000$ bike should not eat thru a shock in under a season of riding once a week. None of the mechanics here see feel or suspect anything wrong with the bike itself other than the shock lol. What would you do in this situation.
