Pretty sure I have an infection (pics)

I went out of town for the week, before I did I transferred 5 gallons of my all Columbus DIPA to secondary (only because I needed a 6.5 gallon carboy free) then dry hopped 4 oz of columbus pellets for a planned 5 to 6 days.

This is what I came home to....

I feel like I failed as a homebrewer, I keep going back over my process and really dont know where I made a mistake, I cleaned everything with star san. I did just put the dry hops in by hand but assumed it would be ok.

Looks fine to me. Put the cap back on!

Looks like hops and yeast floaties to me. Agreed - put the cap back on.

What is the floating chunks? they a little thick, miscolored, and overall large to be hop material.

Looks like trub chunks. Both hop residue & proteins from your wort. I had a beer w/ an entire layer below my krausen once. One of the clearest beers ever when I transferred to secondary b

What kicked up the trub? And it's in the secondary.... i assumed I shouldn't have any now, I had nothing floating for days before I left for the week.

Looks normal to me. RDWHAHB

They're yeast rafts, CO2 can get trapped and float a chunk to the surface, not a big deal.

Bottled last night, tasted fine just a bitter Bomb. Thanks never seen huge chunks of us 05 floating in secondary. It was a little hot at 72 so I think that didn't help.
