It is normal to encounter small dark corners or black circles on the screen when using the lens. To reduce this effect, you can appropriately enlarge your phone screen within the camera application. If your phone has a separate telephoto lens, be mindful that excessive magnification may cause it to automatically switch to the phone's telephoto lens, potentially resulting in a black screen.
