Its probably plant melt. This is a normal symptom of a plant acclimating to its new environment.
Plants are cultivated immersed rather than submerged and have ready access to CO2 from the atmosphere. Once they go in your tank the CO2 is significantly reduced as the leaves are now below the water line. The plants need to adjust to this and leaves going brown and dying is part of this process. New growth will be suitable to live fully submerged. Its possible you could lose all your original growth, just remove any leafs that look dead or dying.
