Does anyone know why the new growth on my American rubber plant is looking yellow and curled up like this? Too much water?

This is a peperomia and they are succulent like. They need to dry up completely between waterings and they don’t like too much direct sun. They prefer bright indirect light or part sun-part shade. Sun should be filtered. If you’re not letting the soil dry completely that’s probably why it’s doing this. I would adjust the watering and cut off the deformed parts. It will regenerate new normal growth quickly.
