Nikon 24-120 S Lens

[nette]

I just received my Nikon 24-120mm f/4 S Lens in June. My nephew passed away shortly thereafter and I was not able to test the lens. At his funeral in August I used the lens on my Z8 and noticed that when Im zoomed out to 24mm, the lens hood blackens out the corners of the photo. It is obviously the hood because you can tell by the outline of the hood.
I just spoke with B&H and they are unable to do anything for me.
Please help.

It kind of sounds like the wrong lens hood was included. New or used item?

From Nikon, it should be marked HB-102 on the hood

HB-102 Lens Hood

The HB-102 is a bayonet style lens hood, designed to work with specific NIKKOR Z lenses.

Should be obvious but the hood is clocked right? I have not noticed it on my 24-140 in the slightest.
