I have a scoly, which at night I can see a bit of its skeleton on all edges, but then at daytime, it covers all it up and looks puffy and happy. Is it receding or is this just normal daytime nighttime cycle with corals? Do you guys need pics?

I don’t know if you can see a difference but it seems receded at night, but at day it seems normal. In the day picture, you can see a bit of the skeleton because it have some previous trauma there but is recovering

That looks like the normal cycle to me. Scolys deflate at night and puff back up under the lights — a little skeleton showing at the edges after dark is expected, especially with a healed trauma spot like you've got. As long as it inflates fully and looks happy during the day, you should be good.
