Twist Bioscience Exome protocol does not claim end-repair at 65C. It must have been a miscommunication. Most enzymatic library prep kits include fragmentation and end repair at 20-35C and A-tailing...

Possible important issues:

1- degraded or low concentration of blocking oligos
2- inefficient hybridisation step (temperature, time, reaction composition)
2- non-stringent wash steps

Bead clean up with 0.8x should remove it. It may be necessary to do two clean ups for complete removal. Clean ups should be done with all samples that will be compared if the aim is DGE analysis.

Do you mean library degrades after size selection and clean up if you leave the library in fridge or RT?

If the library reagents are contaminated you would not have the library in first place.
