I see multiple types of algae in your tank which is out competing and limiting your coralline growth. The various algae you have indicates something is out of balance in your tank which also limits your ability to sustain coralline.

Yeah, I would worry about eliminating some of your algae in the tank while you’re seeding with scrapings.

Get a sea hare and clean up the algae.
I always get the green on the back and scrape it off until coralline shows.
You have coralline in the system from the pics so no need to add it. It does appear to be smotherimg the coralline on the rocks though.
