It sounds like the stencil wasn't polished. Most stencil sources that only offer laser cut stencils do not have the electro polishing chemistry because they don't want to deal with the waste treatment issues. I suggest you verify that the stencil is

Sorry, I forgot to include the stencil thickness. It is 5 mil. Thanks for the input, everbody. I just checked with our stencil supplier & I thought that Electro-polish was standard with lazer, but I now find out it is not. Our stencil did not get

Have you tried to polish the flex with an ESD camel hair brush? The residual films - are they organic, left over from the water? Maybe try some TSP - tri-sodium phosphate, it's a mildly caustic detergent. A thorough rinse would be needed after using
