Welcome to the forum. Post a picture of his entire enclosure including the lighting on top. And one of the chameleon. This type of behavior is almost always because something within the environment is off for them. So we can take a look and help guide you if that is the reason. If it is not then we can dig in further to find the cause.

If you bought him recently, he’s possibly feeling vulnerable. Not being used to his new environment.

When I first got my veiled, he would “paw” at the sides of his enclosure and lay around while puffed up.
This behavior isn’t unusual for a new chameleon, as they may be stressed while adjusting to their new environment. I believe your chameleon is expressing dislike of his/her new environment, but I’m sure this behavior will fade away as time goes on.
If you have had this chameleon for a while, then I would be concerned. As Beman notes, this behavior could signal that something is off in your chameleon’s environment.

Hi. You’ve got a large amount of pothos all over, which is wonderful. However, I am wondering if it’s blocking his access to heat and uvb? What have your day time temps been?
Also have to ask about your soil - have you set up a true bioactive with drainage layer and clean up crew?
