Got a contract job offer, but after reviewing the terms, I feel like some things could be better like the notice period and payment terms. I want to negotiate with HR, but I’m worried it’ll make me look difficult or they’ll just move on to the next candidate. Is it normal to negotiate contract terms for short-term or contract roles? Or should I just accept it as-is and move on?

It’s understandable to feel hesitant but negotiating shows you value your work and want clear terms. Just communicate politely and professionally. If they value you as a candidate, they’ll be willing to discuss. If not, better to know early and find something that fits you better.
