I think you are describing what has happened to me.
After cataract surgery, I had a fold in the bag creating a ray of light extending in my visual field from that went from 7 pm to 1 pm.
Had Yag to take it away, now have bad starbursts around many different lights.
Eye doctors can't find what is causing it. They say the IOL is fine.
I am still looking for answers. Any news from you?

Hi, I’m still having those starbursts now, but they slightly decreased over time. It’s a complicated story, but I have light adjustable lenses that required a few time spaced adjustment sessions after the Yag, so that’s why I took a long time to reply to you. My doctor says that the capsule pierced hole is too narrow and that could cause the starbursts. He promised to slightly enlarge it after all my adjustments and lock-in are done, which leads me to after the holidays. I’ll let you know by then.
