The dings to the shuttle tiles were from ice, not foam. The new foam falling off is not really that bad but unfortunately it looks like it was caused from the changes made solve the problem for the original location.
A. 1 Billion was not for cameras
B. The area were most foam was falling off has been eliminated (so-far) this area is completely different
C. If my suspicion is right they will have to reverse a design change and instead add more heaters.
