Is it a new tank as well ? Probably nitrate deficiency.

Hi guys,
Recently i just bought these 2 plants: Limnophilia sessiliflora and Hygrophila Pinnatifida from Eastocean.
I placed them into my tank and 2 weeks later they became like this!
1st week when i put them in:
Week 1.jpgweek 1 (2).jpg
But 2nd week after i put them in:

They look like they are starting to die or melt or something.
Some leaves are turning brown on the sessiliflora and brown on the outer edges on the pinnatifida. (I trimmed some of them off)
My tank is a 60P, with a Chihiros A301 plus 30W light and no CO2 dosing. I dose our 2hr aquarist ATP complete fert 3ml 3times a week with Water Change 20% 2x a week.
Help, I heard these plants were easy plants and grow like weed but they seem to be dying or melting in my tank!
Is it a melting issue/algae issue/too much light?
Thank you I look forward to your replies!

water change - ok

Nope eh tank is 1 year old, and nitrate maybe 10ppm
Okay, maybe i'll try seachem excel. I was thinking about going Pressurized CO2, but i live in the west, i dk where can i go to do the refills haha
Plenty of places in the west to top up CO2. If fish farms like Rainbow is too far for you then LFS at Clementi Blk 328 is accessible. I usually top up at Polyart there.
