Did you use fixer? Was it fresh?

i used fixer, i actually had to stop using old fixer and mix new fixer in the middle of printing, maybe the fixer was too fresh or something because i used it like 5 minutes after mixing it... but that is a wild guess

The fixe can't be "too fresh" it was either mixed incorrectly or used incorrectly. Fixer is what keeps the prints from changing colors, if the prints are changing colors, then there is a problem with the fixer.

If your prints look ok in room or daylight after complete processing, and stay that way for a bit, THEN at some point turn yellow, it is definitely due to a lack of proper fixing or complete removal of the fix...

Please let us know in more detail your exact processing steps, and the chemistry, dilutions, and times you are using. I mention this because photo chemistry works in synergy, not seperately. IOW, proper fixing requires a good stop bath before, correct dilultion with two seperate fix baths (with a rinse in between), then hypo clearing agent and a complete wash afterwards...

BTW, there is no such thing as fixer solution that is too fresh...
