The next time you have him out, let him have a little supervised explore/sniff time to himself, instead of active handling. If he spends a lot of time poking around the room on his own and checking things out, natural curiosity may be a factor. If he just sits there when left to his own devices, it's probably not.

Try re-arranging his cage's layout to push the hides and cover (ie. fake plants) closer together. Arrange things so he has one hide in each thermal gradient zone (ie. warm, middle, cool) and a continuous stretch of cover that he can hide under when moving better hides. Definitely provide more clutter, hides, and cover is nervousness is at play here! Double-check and make sure your ambient temps aren't too warm while you're at it; there should be at least one cool part of the enclosure where ambients are 75 F/24 C.

Another thought: how often do you normally handle your royal, and how old/young is he? In general, it's a good idea to give snakes a week or two of "hands off" time to allow them to adjust to a move/new enclosures. If you've been handling him a lot since you've put him in his new enclosure, he may might not have had a chance to properly settle in to his new digs and be a little stressed/nervous as a result.
No problem!

When he is out of the cage he pokes around and explores, lifting up his head to look around as well! He is a very curious little guy

He has that! A hide on the cool, middle, and warm side of the cage along with fake plants that he hides under! I am going to purchase more hides/plants/vines on amazon soon as well!

He had lots of hands off time while he was adjusting! I do check his health now and again (a quick pick up, check his belly, nose, eyes, etc to make sure everything is looking good) and let him explore/handle him at least twice a week. He is very young, I have had him for 6 months now and is still small but growing fast!
