Referencing the photos, there appears to be some vias near pads that are only partially covered with soldermask. This may allow solder to flow down the plated via and scavenge solder off the pad.

It's getting sucked into via holes. You could mask the other side of the board and/or add more solder.

If you are unable to change the FAB design anytime soon, then you should try to modify the stencil design to try to keep the solder paste away from the vias.

Clearly the solder is flowing away in the via holes. Unless that solder is creating test failures, I don't understand how this is a problem if there are no components present.
