The pictures are blurry so I’m not too sure, but it looks like it could be a mealy bug or scale? Grab a qtip and soak the end in rubbing alcohol and use that to get in there and kill them. If it is a mealy bug the rubbing alcohol should kill them instantly. If it’s scale, you usually have to get them detached from the plant
