Newbie ??: germination and initial planting

Hi folks- hope you can help. Newbie here- just sprouted several seeds. There are conflicting views about how to plant germed seeds but many say plant with tap root up. I did and this morning, tap root was sticking up above the soil. At the time, I didn't know it was the tap root, so I removed the humidity cover and turned on the grow lights. After some research today, I realize that it is the tap root and I shouldn't have taken off the cover and the root shouldn't be sticking up.

Will these little guys be okay until I get home and can make a deeper hole for them and put the humidity cover back on? Or have I just toasted these newly germed seeds and need to start again?

Many thanks for the help.
