I think they aren’t getting enough light due to the chlorosis and leaf curling upward. However I do sometimes leave the grow light going from 9:00AM to 9:00PM and I wonder if this negatively affects them (ex, their metabolism). They are also in a blend of coco coir, vermiculite, and perlite with a light mixing of my outside soil, so I would think there would still be nutrients for them to use, but is there a possibility they might be nutrient starved?

Give them a light fertilization, there is minimal nutrients in your substrate. They also are too far away from the light and should be getting at least 12 hours a day if not more.
I have lights running 16 hours per day, and my peppers are thriving.
What is your temperature range? Is it dipping below 40 degrees F in your space?
still had mine in the germination dome at that size
Do you have a fan running on them?
Check your required height for that light, might be too high.
Big pot with tiny plants means your soil stays really wet. Wet feet lead to damping off.
