This is a common reaction between lacquer and pressure sensitive adhesives. You see the same thing after removing a pick guard. It's not always obvious unless you get the light right, but I can nearly always spot it.
The good news is that it will diminish some with time. I wouldn't do anything immediately. Give it at least a month, then consider wet sanding (with a block, not your hand) and buffing. No finish work is quite that simple, and don't undertake that yourself if you're not skilled in working with delicate finishes. However, it can be made near invisible.
