The first is to change the maximum deviation in gravity. It defaults to 50% but for you to colonize on the moon will require you to chang it to a minimum of 83%. I prefer 85% as it is easier to remember when looking at some things. At this point your base race will be able to colonize the moon. You might also want to increase the temprature range they tolerate as this will help considerably with the habability index, but this is optional. If you really want to colonize early then you might also want to use the sm functions to add some gasses so that the temprature is closer to what humans want, but that is also optional.

You can go around that if you invest into Biology but that takes time or you get a orbital habitat. If your go the bio-route the Habitat may still be helpful to have your "colonists" not die in earths gravity.
Also the temperature difference is to be considered if you want a fast growing colony so you should get the base-temperature of your colonists down Or you install some terraformers. might help you there. On the lowest grav level it opens iirc 6 Moon Colonys in the entirety of sol.

You probably have to adjust the gravity tolerance for your race, as the "off the shelf" humans need a min gravity of 0.3g.
Atmosphere and temperature can be dealt with through infrastructure, gravity can´t. A body either has suitable gravity or it hasn´t.
