Completely useless filters (horrible optical quality)

The optical quality is completely useless. I just took a bunch of test shots and couldn't get a sharp image at all with these filters. I'm using a Canon 6D Mark II body with a 70-200mm F2.8L IS Mark I lens. I've attached comparison images with and without the filter when the camera's aperture priority is wide open at 2.8 and the ISO set to 400. They are handheld but with a SIOTI filtered image and a shutter speed of 1/250s holding it shouldn't be a problem. blur. These images are SOOC RAW images. I stand 10-15 feet from the subject with great contrast. I can't use these filters at all. Also note that they use a SIOTI 100mm Square Z series aluminum modular filter holder which seems to be of decent quality. My problem is related to the optical quality of the filters themselves.
