Make sure you want damsels before you add them. They are aggressive and will often kill other less aggressive fish. However you can add them when your ammonia and nitrites stay at 0 and you have nitrates present :)

How do u think the ammonia looks
 
Looks like 0 to me and that’s where it should always be. Make sure nitrites are also 0 and then when you test nitrate you should have some. If this is the case I would give the tank 1 more week to settle a bit and add 1 fish, then wait a month before adding more. After that you can start adding 2-3 at a time as long as your tank is big enough.
