I’ve had these inside since end of August. And at that time they were about 2 months after seedling stage. They were damaged when I had them outside, and went thru shock once I repotted them to being inside. Just wondering what’s the “normal” time for the flowers to bloom?!

Have you been fertilizing them? What kind of fertilizer if you are? That’s a really long time to not have flowers. I’m usually pinching flowers before I transplant outside, or if not by then, shortly thereafter. They look healthy enough though.
I’m new to growing so I’m not 100% sure but I’d say at least an hour.
Saying they went through shock Its really hard to say.
My one plant that survived almost dying is 10 months old and just made its first pepper. While as another that almost died has produced 2 harvests already.
I’ve found it’s almost impossible accurately to predict when you’ll get a harvest. I have a plant that’s near a year old that just produced for the first time. I have others that are only a few months old (smaller than yours) that are producing. I have two ghost plants, one I’m seemingly picking peppers off of every day, the other will take weeks to get new pods. All my plants get the same watering and fertilizer too.
If you want to try a high P fertilizer, that may help them flower. But being indoors, you’ll have to manually pollinate.
Next spring
Outside I planted february. Started fruiting mid august, ripe late august til end of september. Superhits
There is not enough info given to really tell. Jalapeños and Serranos and the more mild types of peppers you’ll prolly be able to harvest them green in like maybe 2 or 3 months though add another month or 2 if you want them to ripen and turn red. Any super hot like reapers or scorpions, and you’re looking at way longer, probably a solid 4-5 months, I’d say. Like others have said, though, it’s really hard to say some plants can be stubborn and take extra long, and others can’t shoot up like rockets and start producing earlier than expected.
Other than Thai hot peppers 2 to 3 months all mine have taken several more months . In south Florida all were stagnant to fruit until about a week ago when it finally made it down to mid 80s for the first time in 2 1/2 months of constant heat advisory
