It is insect damage, but can’t say what kind since I don’t see any upon zooming in. It could be thrips since they are skinny and like to hide in between the ribs or at the tip where flesh is softest

I believe it is thrips. I usually mix some 70% alcohol and some water in a spray bottle (around a 2:1 ratio) and spray the tips in the night for a couple days. That usually solves the problem.
