You are correct. Your valve that controls the water flow is not fully closing. The show heads are simply where that water ends up coming out. I would assume that, since this is a new house, the builder will fix the issue?
Your photo doesn’t show the make/model of your valve. But it’s typically just a faceplate between the valve handle and the actual inner workings of the valve.

Not a new house in the sense of built. We bought it recently. The previous owner did a fair number of home improvements.

Not sure your budget, but shower heads are super cheap and easy to replace. Just takes a wrench to get started. As others have said it sounds like a problem with the valve in the shower head itself, and if you're gonna start pulling apart the shower head anyways, might aswell just replace it.

Many home sales contracts include a year of home warranty coverage paid for by the seller. Since you bought it recently, it might be worth seeing if that's covered.
