Just a thought,  is Lightroom applying lens correction on those images?

Did you try to get some help in an Adobe Lightroom forum? There are many out there...  I think it would be more efficient than in a DJI products forum.

Two things:

JPG files are uncropped, RAW files lose 8px per dimension -- at least that was the case with the original Mavic. https://forum.dji.com/thread-89876-1-1.html

However, that's unlikely your problem, if it even exists in the Mac Pro Zoom -- out of curiosity, does it?

I think it's far more likely that what you are seeing in your RAW files is the embedded lens profile correcting for barrel distortion, which you can confirm by clicking on the little i under the Lens Profile pane. Here's what it looks like for a Mavic Air DNG:

Some of my pictures have that lens profile correction, but that doesnt seems to be the problem, its not supossed to crop your photos, right?
About the 8px lose, i think thats not the problem neither, RAW files seemto be ok.

I really dont know whats happening to be honest, i think it has to be something with the mavic settings, but i dont know what

It's quite common to lose edge information when you perform lens corrections, especially with wide-angle corrections. Good to hear that the weird 8px thing was resolved in the later Mavic models -- that's such a random failing but minor enough to not lose any sleep over.

You can test this yourself by opening the DNG in an app that allows the disabling of embedded camera profiles, or you can strip the profile from a test DNG with a tool like EXIFTOOL: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2431111

I can confirm it is indeed lens correction. It's secretly applied as soon as you open the file in Lightroom or Photoshop. As far as I know there is no setting to turn it off, you'll have to do some workaround or open the dng in another program.
