Hi, I was running low on stock so I mixed up 1kg of dme heated to 80° and chucked in 100g of citra for 30 minutes. I then added this to a can of coopers Canadian blonde. Put it in the fv and used lallemand kveik pale ale yeast Voss. Og was1040 after 2 days it was 1010. Day for its 1009. Temperature was 25°. It smells awful which I can't really describe but it tastes OK. Is the smell normal with this yeast and will it go?

My first brew with Voss smelled like orange peels/tangerine. It's something like that you're getting from yours?

No, I really can't describe it but it's not nice

Voss can give a sulphur (rotten eggs) smell when it’s stressed. It needs plenty of yeast nutrient in as it’s such a monster yeast.
Leave it another week to clean up and it will go away.
If that is the smell you have that is

I’ve had the musty orange thing in a pale I did a few years ago. Just light pale ale malt can’t mind the hops I used but it was a little off balance with the orange prominent in the aftertaste. Still use it in the summer brews and I love it. Just brew a bit lower 25c and let free fall

I've had musty old books/mushroom kind of flavour once which wasn't enjoyable.
I wouldn't worry about fermenting smells though they will likely fade as the yeast clean up.
