I think this is thrips in my Monstera soil? When I took the pot off I caught a tiny flat white/yellowish bug running around which I believe to be a thrip but I didn’t manage to take a photo of it. I got a photo of these fluff type things within the soil. Is this where thrips hatch? I have never dealt with pests before. Luckily I have some Neem oil coming tomorrow so I plan to do a spray and soil drench

You can buy a fungicide for plants.
