Looks like startup diatoms, should go away when tank ages.
Keep doing waterchanges and removing them as good as possible, keep using ferts.
How long is your lighting period? For a new tank keep it at 6 hours or so, increase it gradualy after 4-6 weeks if all is growing wel.

Startup imbalance as Edvet said :)

Co2 would help but without keep waterchanging and ensure a good flow over them. Less light will help plants adapt then you can increase but without actual co2 and not Glut you’ll be limited on light intensity.
