So I don't like using transfers and plan on making some Exorcist Space Marines.

Is there any reason fluff wise that a chapter's chapter symbol on the shoulder pad might be freehanded?

In my head I imagine some tech priest or servitor reproduces the symbol without issue.

That's not something that needs lore justification. Not to mention I'm pretty sure transfers aren't a real thing in 40k.

It needs less justification than Marines pasting stickers on their shoulderpads
If you are worried that not every symbol will look exactly the same, you could say it is tradition in your chapter that Marines paint the symbol themselves.
