You've only had it 2 weeks. It is perfectly fine and nothing to worry about. It was most likely a bit damaged on the travels to your home and then the result of the damage will appear later.
Also, stress from the move shocks a hibiscus which can also cause a yellow spot with a brown center.
It can take a few weeks for them to settle in and acclimate. At that point her new growth will be perfect.
Congrats on your new hibiscus. 🌺 They are one of my favorites 💛
Please do not apply a fungicide unless necessary on a shocked/ stressed plant. It can cause damage.

Anytime I see brown with yellow like that and it’s not at the edge of the leaf it makes me think fungal infection. Trim the affected leaves off and treat the plant with a fungicide. I use Captain Jacks copper fungicide but make sure it’s safe for the plant first. Looks like it’s safe for most plants.
Thank you so much for your advice everyone!! Appreciate it!
