normal map artifact

i'm having an artifact in the normal map that i'm trying to bake for a gun, i used extra geometry in this area to get a good bake since the details were distorted, the distortion was gone but this artifact remains

i solved the problem by adding extra edge loops, but i don't understand why this happened, here is a picture of the uvs and another one for the added edge loop
