A better pic would help make sure but I think it looks normal! The hops and dried krausen foam that are make up the ring of gunk above the beer is completely normal. The krausen that is left on top of your beer seems normal as well just can not see it very well. Different yeast stains act very different from each other. Let us know what strain you used.

Overall looks good! Best way to tell is bottling or keg it and try a sip! Cheers and goodluck

Ok cool in didn't want to open all of the way So i couldn't mess it up in any way. I don't know what yeast it was I probably should have looked before I threw the pack away rookie mistake I guess. It's been in my primary for a week I'm wanting to add orange zest to it so is it ready to go into my secondary. The air lock is still bubbling a little still.

Where did you get the recipe? If it's a kit I believe you can look it up. From your pic it looks like your fermentation is still pretty active. I'd wait a little longer like a couple days or until most of that foam starts to drop out back into the beer and then transfer with all sanitized equipment to your secondary! Make sure your zest your using is sterile as well. I usually soak my items that are not sterile like that in alcohol that's 40% or higher to kill any bacteria!
