I was with my gecko Samson and notices him licking his vent area. I notices this yellow looking things on the side. Not sure if those were normally there because I've never erally examined his vent.

Pics are below:

You can see ther are two yellowish things on the sides. They are only visible when I lift the tail.

I soaked him yesterday adn today and have been rubbing the area with a Q-tip but doesn't seem to be making much progress. Is this normal?

Yeah, they do look like sperm plugs. I would not try to remove them on your own. I would try to get a vet appt and see if they can help you get them out.
