Seems it’s either a vinyl problem or a static electricity problem.
New vinyl is not clean, it benefits from a good cleaning- ultrasonic works best. Static electricity can also cause pops n clicks - best to try to eliminate. While many products try to lower static prior to playing, the CS Port and DSAudio seem best as they eliminate static “as the record is being played”
Do your pops and clicks occur at the same song locations? If so, it’s likely not static which would be random.
