New to reading the Quran – some questions about Al-Baqarah from a curious learner

Assalamu Alaikum! I've been exploring different faiths and just started reading the Quran. I'm about halfway through Surah Al-Baqarah, and a couple of verses really made me think because they seem different from what I've read in the Bible. For example, in 2:34, Allah tells the angels to prostrate to Adam, and they all do except Iblis, who refuses out of pride and becomes a disbeliever. I'd heard something like this from some non-canonical texts, but in the Bible, angels are always serving Allah and never bow to humans, right? Then in 2:55, the people tell Musa (peace be upon him) they won't believe until they see Allah openly, and a thunderbolt hits them. But in Exodus, it's the opposite – the people are scared and ask Musa to speak to Allah for them so they don't die. I'm genuinely curious: how do Muslim scholars understand these stories? Are they seen as different events, or is the Quran correcting what came before? I'd love to hear from those with knowledge. Jazakallahu khair!
