Lets break this down.
You added a aftermarket accessory to the truck that in turn caused a defect in the paint and you think they should cover it? Im not following that logic, im sorry.
Sorry, I have to agree with the other responses: no way that's a warranty claim. If the plate doesn't rub without a frame, then it isn't warranty claim as frames aren't a factory option. Even so, I would bet the advertisement frame your dealer installs (assuming that's how they advertise) wouldn't rub either - I know the one on my '20 1500 doesn't. Is that a PSU alumni frame? It looks really wide at the top & I think that's the issue. Try a frame that isn't as beefy up top & it probably won't rub. Or - I don't know if this would work or not - try elongating all 4 holes in the frame in the top-to-bottom direction to get the frame to sit lower. That might work if there's room for it to move down towards the bumper & there aren't nubs holding the plate in position in the frame. If the plate is held in position in the frame, the plate holes would have to be elongated too if that looks to be an option.Do you think this would be covered under warranty?
I had the same thing happen to my new truck. Stupid design. I just took the plate holder off, but that offers VERY LITTLE TO NO SECURITY for theft.I was washing my truck yesterday and I noticed the bottom of my tailgate has paint rubbed off. It is hitting my license plate cover from the looks of it. This appears to be a bad design by RAM. Do you think this would be covered under warranty?

How does having a license plate frame offer any more theft security than not having one? They're held on using the same four screws.I had the same thing happen to my new truck. Stupid design. I just took the plate holder off, but that offers VERY LITTLE TO NO SECURITY for theft.
Some frames come with tamper proof screws that require a special tool to install or remove. I have them on my truck. Typically a torx screw with a pin in the middle, tool has a hole in the center for the pin to slide into and the rest is a typical torx screw.How does having a license plate frame offer any more theft security than not having one?

I'm familiar with security fasteners. In that case, just use security fasteners to secure the license plates. I have to say that I've bought a lot of license plate frames over the years, but I don't remember any of them coming with security fasteners. If security is your concern, all you need is the fasteners They're readily available. No frame required.Some frames come with tamper proof screws that require a special tool to install or remove.
