Did I kill my seedling

I planted my seedling in the grow pod about 24 hours ago I put it under my vegation light and it was there for the whole night. I woke up in the morning and noticed that my seed sprouted but still had the seed shell on it and the shell seemed like it was tooo heavy for the small stem that grew and the plant was leaning over. I looked at some videos and one person removed the seed shell so I did that. I grabbed some tweezers and took the shell off. After doing so I look at the shell and noticed that on both parts it had 2 little green leafs inside. I’m pretty sure I killed the seedling but have 4 more seeds that should crack soon and be ready for planting I want to make sure I don’t kill the others so any advice would be appreciated.

A drop of water on the seed hull to soften it up and be patient. They all come up bent over, you made a poor assumption about the hull being too heavy.

This is what my seedling looks like now. I actually just got some positive thoughts because the leaves that there were white when I first removed the shell now they are turning green. I just noticed this when I removed it out of the grow light and looked at it under normal light. My other concern is why it’s still leaning, it was doing that but I thought it was because the seed was weighing it down. Thanks for the help

Give it another 12-24hrs under some light and see if it starts to green up, if so then they aren't dead.

Thanks I believe it is starting to green up because when I first took off the shell the little leaves were completely white like the color of the root now they are turning green
