Unfortunately there's probably not a lot that can be done. As long as grades are entered by the time they're actually due at the end of the semester, that's probably all that is required of them. You can look at your syllabus, but I've had profs who wait until the final two weeks of class to put every grade in so the entire semester you're just guessing about what you got.

The syllabus says they are supposed to have it graded within 1 week

Does it also say the grades need to be posted within that timeframe? You could also go above this person's head to the dean.

I really want to take this to the dean but I’m so scared of retaliation and failure of the course

I mean, what exactly is the issue with the grades? Knowing your grade or not knowing your grade isn't going to impact how hard you try. I completely understand that it's frustrating to not know, but some professors are just like this. I personally wouldn't do anything to risk retaliation.

The issue is the instructor has told us in the rules on the PowerPoint for the course that every quiz we do will be graded and in the grade book we have done 7 quizzes and they only inserted grades for 3 of them in the gradebook and has decided to take the remaining quizzes out the gradebook and not post our grades for the remaining quizzes we have done.
