I noticed this when I received my 2017 Uncirculated Set from the mint. What caused it?

I can't tell. Could be a lamination or an odd mark, can't be certain looking at the images.

Any suggestions on how to take a better pic without taking it out of the packaging? Or who I might send it to?

I will tell you what you will here on this; It is not dramatic enough or of much interest. The experts have "seen" it all and it takes something special to get their notice.

Pahl1 of this forum is a CONECA Rep and you can send it to him.

I agree it's probably not worth sending it off. Photography is all about the lighting. You can google lighting box diffusers, but if you experiment some with a single light source that strikes the coin from a particular angle, it should be an improvement. Try a fixed light and position the coin accordingly, maybe even at an angle.
