With all the holes a fan is not needed.
If your sub is colonized 100% then free air is your best defense to contams. It is counter intuitive but that is why it took all of us so long to start getting right.

There is also no need to use new perlite, Very little if any should fall out the holes. If this is a concern then get some vinyl screening for screen doors and lay a sheet in the bottom of your FC. You can get a roll at walmart in the hardware section for 6 bucks.

No need for new perlite, that same perlite will do, but you should get more of it and add some, should have 4-5" of it.
And fruiting is not a sterile environment, it is done in open air....not to mention fully colonized cakes are contam resistant.
Stop worrying about contams, and start building a proper SGFC.

You have to follow the directions to get the results. Im waiting on my spores now and all my plans and decisions are copy paste from a tek or someone elses grow on here. Getting to fruits is a damn good job! But to get the sick flushes just copy the people growing them.

Okay I don't want to specifically pick on you bro, but I do want to use you as an example. I really don't know what it is about these Teks that people think, "oh I can change this," or "that's not an important part."
I see so many new cultivators come on here and post their pictures and then ask a ton of questions about why they have contamination, or why their mushrooms look small, or "furry" or fat and short.
Follow the TEK"S there is a reason they work. They have been tried and the entire community of people over 30 years have perfected these process's, "Who the fuck are you to think you can change it for the better?" LOL I know that is not really the case and in most situations people are just making small adjustments because they have to make the TEK fit their environment. I do think this is one of the worst mistakes you can make as a cultivator. If you have to have a stealthy box under your bed so your mother doesn't find them, move out of her house! If you are hiding them from your wife or husband, just be open and honest it will always turn out for the best. Do like I do and claim religious freedom.
Sorry about the rant, I just want to clarify my position, if you think you might be doing it wrong, you probably are!

So it's coming along great, but there still only growing and popping up from the bottom edges of th cakes.. Is there a specific reason for this?

Yes....
You used the wrong sized jars and you did not roll them in verm.
Gravity is sucking all the moisture down to the bottom of the cakes.
This is why it is important to follow the tek, and use the right sized jars.
You chamber is also crap, so that does not help.
Following good teks will get you good results.
How often do you mist/fan the cakes?

Wait did I miss something? Why are they sitting on the perlite? What is the reason for not using foil?

I'm gonna smash these cakes and use them as spawn and try a bulk method with a PROPER sgfc. But ... What's up with that guy cracking? All growing from bottom still, but what is racking of the cap before done fruiting a result of?
Also, I saw a tiny nat looking bug inside my chamber and took it out. Guessing it got in through a hole.. But is that a shit sign for me that these patties have grown other bacteria... And is it even plausible to transfer these patties for bulk grow?

No, I would suggest starting over using different fresh cakes...those cakes have consolidated and fruited already, you want to spawn young and vigorous mycellium.

Could be a mutant, could be splitting from rapid growth....

Yeah you definitely need to get some holes in the bottom of that tub and elevate it I myself did the whole air stone thing im gonna do it my way thing when I first started, but I got no where. Nail down the basics stick to the teks ppl like frank and rr have paved the way! And you should definitely check out tbags grow a long it is extremely informative for when you move to grains and monos
