Well, I think so far as hiding  your changes it's a technique problem
rather than a screen problem. It appears that you 'painted over' the
bright spots using longish brush strokes; changes like this are best
done by 'dabbing' new pixels over the old ones...not making a 'line'
with any of the tools in PS. And if cloning, always be certain to sample
from very near the offending spot...that way you're more likely to cover
with correctly colored/toned pixels...and don't hesitate to resample
often from a new area as tones change quickly when moving across an
image.

You may have made the change by using a sampled single color as it
appears that your change is a lightish gray but lacks the 'grain' of the
surrounding area. To avoid that, you could select the newly painted area
and add grain via a filter or you could have selected an area with the
selection lasso tool, copied it, dragged it over the bright spots and
dropped it down. If you do it this way, always be sure to feather your
selection so the edges aren't obvious.

Hope I've been of some help.
