It’s probably just growth lines that will go darker in time,but I’m sure someone more experienced will be along soon in case I’m wrong.

Hi and welcome!

No, it's not a problem that the growth lines are bigger on the sides than elsewhere on the shell. As long as the overall silhouette of the tortoise stays symmetrical, he's growing ok.
