Leaves dry up

Hi!
Got this Kumquat around 2 weeks ago and repotted it but some leaves still get brown spotty and brittle. Check the soil for wetness, gave it fertilizer and plenty of sun.....
12ft to light, direct
20” pot with drainage
Last watered 1 week ago
The leaves might be drying up from transplant shock. The roots are delicate and need time to adjust.

Move it to a shaded area for now to let it recover, and absolutely stop fertilizing, as that will burn the roots. Just be careful not to overwater it while it's stressed. Allow the top inch of soil dry out before watering again.
