I am new to coding and i dont know how to fix this. I've tried multiple things like changing the leyout but it doesnt work.

It sounds like you may be experiencing a focus issue with your textfields. In JavaFX and Swing, components like textfields may not display their contents until they are clicked or focused on.

One common solution to this issue is to ensure that your textfields have the proper focus traversal policy set. You can do this by calling the setFocusTraversalPolicy method on the parent container of your textfields, passing in a new FocusTraversalPolicy object that defines the order in which components should receive focus.

Another potential solution is to explicitly request focus on a specific textfield when your application starts up. You can do this by calling the requestFocus method on the desired textfield after adding it to your scene graph.

If these solutions do not work, you may want to check if there are any event handlers or listeners in your code that are affecting the visibility or focus of your textfields. Additionally, double-check that your textfields are being added to the scene graph and displayed correctly within your layout.

Overall, make sure to thoroughly review your code and experiment with different approaches to see what works best for displaying your textfields properly.

    rightpanel.setBounds(442, 0, 442, 590);
    frame.getContentPane().add(rightpanel);
    rightpanel.setLayout(null);

    JPanel leftpanel = new JPanel();
    leftpanel.setBounds(0, 0, 442, 590);
    leftpanel.setBackground(new Color(13,13,13));
    frame.getContentPane().add(leftpanel);
    leftpanel.setLayout(null);
    
    Textfield name = new Textfield();
    name.setBounds(21, 203, 400, 39);
    name.setBackground(new Color(13,13,13));
    name.setColumns(10);
    
    //left panel components
    leftpanel.add(name);

use a layout manager, all your fields are at 0,0 with size 0,0
