To high moisture in tent/propagator, I would remove the hood. Try to remove it in short intervals in the beginning and then completely off. You don't need to run high humidity with Aero clones or in DWC. Different story with jiffy pucks and rockwool cubes. It will only cause problems from my experience.
It usually takes about a week for roots to show.

Keep the lid off them dude. You don't need a humidity dome when using an aerocloner.
I use DIY aerocloners and I don't use gel. It comes off the roots in no time. Just use regular Clonex @ 5mL/gal and pH to 5.5.
That being said, what's your water temp at? I've found that my roots shoot faster when the water temp is warmer, but you run the risk of bacteria. I use a DIY UC Roots which is basically just chlorine to ward off any bullshit. Once they have roots then the colder water temps are better for dissolved oxygen levels.
Are you using airstones? Again its just my experience but I prefer to run a couple in each of mine.
I'd also get those lights up a bit as they don't need any until they shoot roots. The plants can't handle the light as they have no way to photosynthesize and uptake nutrients since there is no roots. If you give em too much light they will used up the nutes in what little foliage is there and they will be fucked. I keep my cloners in the corner of my room away from the direct lighting. Just my 2 cents anyways..

Your lights are way to high. Your clones will be thinking of stretching not growing roots, and with no roots to support a stretch they are dying.
Drop those lights right on top of them and they will go into root mode.
I mean at this point its a last resort.

Look at the plants lol
They aren't growing roots after a week?
His lights are 6 feet above his plants.
Not sure how you grow clones but in my world I have never grown clones with a light that high above.
And you really haven't give him any advice other then good luck.
What do you suggest to him? Stay on his current path? Lol
Anyhow OP, up to you but I'm pretty sure those are almost done so my advice isn't going to make them any worse lol
the lights was on top of the domes for 6days i only just moved them today

Well my opinion
1. Take the vent off completely and don't put it back on
2. Lower the lights again
See what happens after 2 or 3 days

ph is 5.8
Clones don't need much light at all, I have mine sitting in between my veg tables the lights are atleast 5 ft away and off to the side, and plants are blocking a lot of it since they are so much taller. This round rooted in less than 10 days in just in root riot cubes in a dome.
