If, like me, you came here to find out how to detonate the explosives, go back to the quest giver and then a special action button will appear.
if you are having issues like me coming in just before the dragonflight content....... the issue with DETONATE was the action button wasnt available so have to go into the menu and select edit mode, then tick the box next to extra abilities and then drag that out where you can see it. once i did that i was done. took me 30mins to figure that out!

Description
The area surrounding Tidecaller Nezara is heavily guarded, so I'll need you to create a distraction. Take these explosives. Plant them on the naga's harpoon launchers. Once they've been detonated, the blast should be more than enough to send the guards running!
Where to go
Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.
