My first guess would be possible humidity or temperature issue if it’s a newer leaf. Newer leaves tend to struggle to unfurl well if the humidity isn’t right for these guys. If it’s not a newer leaf’s then possibly the watering schedule or temp issue.

It could be edema, but it could also be thrip damage, I'd check the plant over well to check.

I got it last week and washed it before bringing it into the house with water what are the signs of thrips

Warped leaves, browning, holes, seeing the thrips themselves. If you washed it well (and it happens to be thrips and not edema) you'd just want to keep an eye, as their larvae can be in the soil. And they burrow in the leaf itself

Thank you for the good info!

Sorta looks like Edema, roots sucking up water too fast, causing the cells in the leaves to bulge/burst, do the bumps feel squishy?

Not really
