Is cost by mounting of the tire error by using tools ( tires levers ) . Best to do without when all is possible Try putting air into the tube to shape it , put into tire , mount tire onto rim without tool and bring up to pressure .
He is using double rim tape that is too wide to expose the spoke holes on the rim, and too thick to allow the spokes to touch the spoke ends. Tire levers leave a tear when improperly used, not a dimple. Finally, neither proposed "cost" (cause) explains the consistent presence of the two dimples.
