How long has it been like that?

Fwiw I have had clams scrunch up sections for a few days and they are fine, I have not seen true pm in years. Might want to see if anything nipped or irritated it like a crab.

I don't know how to tell pinched mantle, but I had cases like mentioned above, where the mantle is scrunched up for a couple of days for whatever reason, then goes back to normal. Hopefully yours is ok but the clam masters will know.

It has been a week like this, but just a part of it scrunched up. What should I notice for possible PM symptoms?

From the pics it looks like something is irritating the mantle. Also, if it's been like this for a week and it hasn't affected more of the mantle, then I wouldn't call it PMD. With PMD, the affected area will continue to grow, the mantle will appear to "crinkle" or "shrink" as it gets worse. Look at the stickie thread in this section and you'll see picks.
