Could be a LOT of things, but maybe as simple as your bridge needing adjustment.

Have "your guy" check it. If you're not familiar with them and start loosening this and tightening that, it can get really out of whack.

Watch the tech if you can and ask questions. If you show genuine concern and respect most people don't mind helping.

Not that you would, but don't do this:

Easy your strings are too low causing them to choke on the radius of the frets

Raise the e string until you can bend without choking, then set the others to the same height.
