It looks all right. You gonna probably need to mist the seed to help the cotyledons out of the shell or not you will see which shape the stem is going to do. You should see the top bend getting straight up, seed shell opening and cotyledons going out the shell. I have noticed one thing: if seed is not burried “enough” it sprouts the surface with the seedshell on cotyledons. Longer the shell stays on cotyledons more stretchy. I would just let her do the job for now, and add soil later when she will be straight. It looks like tap root is established so she gonna look for the light. IMo

So basically she is alright?

All seeds make that 90 bend as they emerge from the soil. In this case there is no soil to offer resistance and the seed shell may get stuck on. Nothing to worry about for now.

As Dr. Who suggested make sure that cup has drain holes in the bottom, without those your seedling won't stand a chance.
