Has anyone tried Gewo Nexus EL Pro 48? I've heard its a good backhand rubber, but can't really find any good reviews.

In my opinion usually its a bit softer, grippier and spinnier than FH rubber.
And thanks for your comment, it was helpful.
Arbitrarily choosing different rubbers for different wings can cause the two wings to develop a bit more asymmetrically.
This is why I cringe when recommendations for beginners go "Take XYZ 1,8 mm on forehand and ZYX 1,5 mm on backhand." (The backhand rubber being slower by default and thinner)
Guys , these things formed on my nexus el pro 48

Did I glue it wrong or ? Considering they are around the periphery, they should not have a negative impact, but kind of curious since this is the first time this has happened to me.
Take the rubber off, remove the old glue from the blade and rubber and try again. That could be from how you removed the glue from the blade last time. There could be little bumps of glue (or something else) that were all over the blade.
So it would be worth trying to remove all glue thoroughly and trying to glue it again.
Not sure how that would happen as a result of the rubber itself.
Ok just got back home and removed the rubber ... but I do not see anything on the sponge or blade. Kind of scratching my head here. Was expecting little bundles of glue or something.

Take the old glue off the rubber and see what happens.
Depends on what you are using for glue, but your glue jobs are lumpy and uneven. Sometimes, removing and regluing rubber causes the unevenness with new layers being formed on unevenly attached or unglued layers, either on blade or rubber. But porous rubbers respond to such unevenness more but they still play well. Just use the rubber and stop over thinking it unless the blobs are really large.
Well that was not very fun.

I am not sure if I am imagining it, but maybe they are less pronounced ?
Edit: Yea, went to compare with first picture, definitely less visible, how do I avoid forming them again when re-gluing ?
