These traps are dying before they open. Is it because the soil is holding some nutrients from something?

How deep of a pot is it in? It looks like it may be too wet.

I have used 3 in 1 spray on plants that where in the same pot previously, perhaps it’s still there?

Should I repot them? I checked the TDS and it was 80.

It looks like mineral burn. I'd try flushing with distilled water, but a repot wouldn't hurt either.

Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes the reason is that I make bad decisions.

Also is it possible the pot is leaking minerals?

The pot itself? No. But, if it was poorly manufactured, it could be leaching chemicals. However, that would then affect all the plants, not just one.
More likely it's just the media breaking down.

Its not visible but all the plants in that pot are affected by whatever it is.

The brown speckling on the traps and leaf blades look like red spider mite damage. Do you see any tiny red/orange/brown very slow moving mites on the plants? They usually don’t show in photos.

I checked with a magnifying glass and I saw red dots but they weren't moving; I tried to scrape them off and they didn't come of either, so I'm not sure if there is spider mites.

Checked soil again and it was 7 TDS so I think I was just overwatering them.

Turns out it was just spider mites, I just unpotted and submerged them for a month and kinda forgot about em till now. Potted recently now they're growing fine.
