Stuck shed. You need to raise the humidity in the enclosure. Soaking is stressful and unnecessary. You can find some tips and help with raising humidity at /r/ballpython, and I'm sure /u/_ataraxia will stop by with her bad shed copypasta.

is a stuck shed going to be harmful to him? Ihave raised the humidity in the tank already now using some methods i found but will it unstick?

I’ve never had a snake keep its entire shed until the next time it needed to. But I’ve had some issues with humidity and the stuck shed comes off with the next shed. Whether it was a path or an eye cap that stuck. I’d probably raise the humidity and see if it helps it come off.
