Need pics.

And could you shoot a selfie? We need to see the front of the camera.

Just had a thought. Upper left? Not exactly the same from shot to shot?
I'll bet your finger is getting in the way because of the way you're holding the camera body.

See the thread about holding a camera steady.

If you get to see it if different lens is used I think it s more of the sensor. Have it check to its respective customer service of sony.

Can you see this in viewfinder, or, live view. A pic would perhaps help. Ed.

Many possibilities -

Lens Hood
Finger or hand in the way
Lens Cap not correct
Some modes also offer deliberate rounded black corners
