I just planted an amazon sword in a newly set up eclipse 12 gallon
tank. Within 24 hours some of the leaves turned dark green in spots
and some other leaves turned clear in spots.

Keep in mind, that most aquatic plants are grown "emersed", that is, they
are frown in the open air like a houseplant. The leaves that the plant
shoots up when in the air are different from the ones it will grown when
submerged. The original leaves will likely die.
That said, the die-off is rather quick for this to be the issue, IMO.
Perhaps others can offer something more useful....
