kinda hard to get a solid picture or video since they are so tiny. What do you recommend I treat the soil with?

There are soil drenches that can be used to kill off bugs, but I've never used them and don't know anything about them, except they exist. Beneficial nematodes control a lot of soil borne pests. I know they work, but if your problem is root aphids, they might not be enough.

There are a lot of bugs in soil that don't do anything, positive or negative, to cannabis plants, so trying to identify them would be a good idea. I can't see anything from the video. Try one of these, or similar: https://www.amazon.com/Microscope-M...ords=digital+microscope&qid=1630006602&sr=8-3

Look up root aphids and learn what they look like. Also look up fungus gnats, which are a nuisance, but really don't bother the plants (except they get themselves stuck on trichs and die). I actually use nematodes regularly for fungus gnats.

Diatomaceous Earth. Apply with a https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B086H67ZZW...t_i_7PW1QFFXT6NWQN334G8H?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Garden supply store. Amazon. It comes in 50 pound sacks. Or small bags for people that eat the stuff.
