There’s a zevo light behind it. Could that be burning it?

I think there are two options. It could be a fungal spot in which case you would want to remove that leaf and perhaps treat the rest of the plant with an antifungal product as a preventative. The other option is the spot is caused by over watering. Check the roots make sure there's no mushy roots and that the soil isn't too wet. If it seems that's the case let the plant roots dry a little bit before replanting it and use fresh succulent soil.

One of mine did the same thing. My research said fungal infection as well.

I basically did everything you recommended her to do and my Savannah is back healthy again 👍🏽😌

They are some tough plants! Lol
