Next time you water or mist them put some Viagra in the water.
Ok all jokes aside. Did the person who gave you the clones use a rooting hormone? What are your conditions as in temp, humidity (if you know it) what type and wattage of lighting are you using and how far away from your clones is it, are they in a done or exposed to the open air?
Anything else you can add will help people to give you sound advice.

I've had really large cuts with all of their fan leaves root fine within days... In fact, I just took 25 cuts of OG and they rooted in 4 days and I didnt snip off a single one of their leaves.
I would check the pH, make sure it's low. Also I would make sure not to oversaturate the plugs.

I keep looking at your pictures and something just does not look right, as in things don’t seem to add up to me. Your clones are wilted but not as in dried out looking. The wilting looks more like from over watering but with little to no root structure that does not make sense.
I am not a big clone guy so while I wish I could help more I would mostly be guessing and repeating possibilities from things that friends have experienced so you need to rely on others here with more cloning experience.
The comment about your root temperature possibly being low could easily enough explain slow root growth but I still cannot help but think the wilting has more of an over watering look to it than one of them being dried out due to a lack of roots to take up moisture.
It will be interesting to me to read what those with more experience than I have say and what in the end turns out to be the problem and what solves it.

What if i just planted it into soil asap? Would that help at all? Being that they were part of a plant that was getting a health dose of water and whatnot. Im just lost at this point.
ALSO
What i realized was that i had 4 23w CFLs at about 8 - 9 inches away. I shut 2 off.
My light schedule is 24/0
i have a timer but i think i prefer 24/0
MM its only been 2 days since ive had it. Could that be it? just let it be?
I mist the little bastards every now and then with water to keep the leaves moist-ish. *I DONT SOAK THEM* just a mist.
Room temp is 70 Degrees F.

Rapid rooters will make the cuts want to root on their own. Give them a few days and let them dry up a little bit (dont let them dry out completely).

ok so let them chill? Im misting them about once every 2 hours or so
Also, 4 cfls for now or 2? And distance?

I would mist them once a day if anything, and prior to misting them, blow some air on them.
I would maintain at most 2 CFLs about 2 feet above them, ambient lighting works brilliantly with clones... After they establish respectable root systems, then you can blast them with your ultra mega lumen maker.

so i should let them dry out slightly? The reason why im misting them every so often is because the room humidity is fairly low. Ive placed a bowl of water inside the room but it does not seem to do anything.
