Greetings, looks like a typical case of far too much sun in short amount of time on newly formed leaves. Aka "sunburn". During the hottest time of day you might want to attempt to shade them a bit. I wouldn't trim the leaves, or over water.

Thanks Maro,
I may shade them a little more from the sun. Any way figs are hardy plants so they won't die!

How long ago did you plant these trees?

Put some composted manure down and then mulch on top. Don't shade it.
