A more cost effective fertilizer is this one. I have a large watering can, so I put this in the bottom, measure out the appropriate amount of warm water, and then slowly water at the roots till the water comes through the drainage holes. (My fig is in its nursery pot inside an outdoor ceramic planter that also has drainage.)
You might be over-watering it. Does that planter have a drainage hole? If not, you might want to repot into one that does.
Fiddle leaf fig care can be tricky, so to make sure you don't over-water in the future, my best tip is to pick the right soil and to make sure it's in a planter with a drainage hole. I seriously used to be a notorious plant killer until I figured out the right soil combinations for my plants. For fiddle leaf figs, I like to use a 33%/33%/33% soil mixture of (1) Miracle Gro Moisture Control, (2) Miracle Grow Cactus, Palm & Citrus Mix, and (3) Miracle Gro (regular) Potting Mix. This just ensures that the fiddle leaf gets the right amount of moisture and drainage. I usually water once every week or two, depending on how dry the soil is. This is also a great fiddle leaf fertilizer.
I've had a lot of luck using this with a sunny window and weekly watering:

I’m in north america too but mine did ok after an almost immediate repot & being on the other side of the curtain in a south facing window (indirect/filtered bright light). I don’t fertilize quite so often though, maybe once every third watering? I hold back on fertilizing a bit since I think it’s possible to do it too much and “burn” your plant (experience with that happening with some other plants). I don’t have it on a specific watering schedule, I just go by the top two inches of soil being dry. I will say when I repotted I moved that one to a teracotta pot and that seems to make it dry out a bit faster than my plant that is still in its nursery pot.
The yellow splotchyness on the leaves makes me think it would do well with some fertilizer. It could also have to do with the lack of drainage holes though. I got this kind from amazon and my plants always put out new growth after.

If it were me, I would repot into a well draining pot with the soil mix the other poster mentioned. Give it a good water. Put it a few feet away from your window and leave it alone for a week or two to see what happens. It may drop some leaves in protest but it should be ok. Then I’d think about fertilizing with the next watering. It’s a beautiful plant OP i think it will look great once you get it situated!
Not OP, but I bought this off amazon on the recommendation of a friend and my FLF loves it. Ton of new growth this summer.

Also wouldn’t fertilize too much more this season depending on location (assuming north hemisphere due to Costco :)) as it’s about to be fall
I haven’t tried the fiddle leaf fig plant food yet (https://amzn.to/2l7rKHc), although I have seen around the web it seems to be quite beneficial. I think OP may be using it though.
That happened to mine from the inconsistent and not enough watering. Also get these two and feed when you water. Fertilizer Plant Food
When I water it I mix a liquid fiddle leaf fig plant food with the water. I use this product: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BG98GQD/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_mqduDb07X0Z58
Last time I watered it though I noticed the majority of water drained immediately from the pot. So I'm guessing barely any of the fertilizer was left in the soil.
Today I'm gonna get some worm castings delivered for my other plants, should I repot it and mix the soil with the with castings?
