It is pretty normal. If you wish to fix that in the future, try knotting tighter! I’m not aware of a way to be able to fix that for your current bracelet, but knotting pressure will help in the future. Good luck!🙂

Like the previous post says, knotting tighter will help prevent this if the holes are quite visible. The only way to really solve it in this current bracelet is to unpick the knots and do them again but tighter, but of course that depends how far in on the bracelet you are. Also, some threads differ when it comes to the knotting structure; softer threads as opposed to "plasticy" threads will make the knots smoother looking and make them sit firmly together. And thinner threads is quite harder to get the right placement as opposed to slightly thicker.
How big are the holes exactly? Because slightly small holes in bracelets when you hold them up to the light is absolutely normal, especially with normal patterns, and even more so with patterns that consist of a lot of forward-backward and backward-forward knots.

there super small holes that you can see in the light, im trying to not do the knots too tight so maybe thats why there are some holes?

Yes, that is absolutely normal. If you think the holes are a little too big for your liking, when you make the first half of the knot, pull that a little tighter and the small hole will reduce in size. 🙂
