I think if you dry in high humidity (60%) you better have some air moving around plant....beautiful buds .........look tight/dense , which are more prone to fungi , which love moist, stagnant air.
Do they look ready?

60% , I think, is just pushing it a little high......I understand the slower dry and resulting benefits........I don't understand stagnant air.

Stagnant air can create moisture spots within the buds even when drying.
You can then get cobweb like mould forming on the outer parts of your bud if it’s too cold, too humid and not enough air moving in your drying area.
If you are exhausting your drying area then no real issue as air will be moving through the area.
if your drying area is closed off then a small oscillating fan somewhere in the area helps to stop stagnant air creating the cobweb like mould.
I use a small USB fan well below my drying racks just keeping the air moving.

Sounds good. I am putting them in a sealed off basement room almost like a closet with the pink insulation surrounding the walls. It’s the chilliest part in the house. I have a small oscillating fan that I can probably place 3-4 ft under the buds. And for rh I’ll aim between 45-55 since the temp is fairly low at 18-19 degrees

That’s roughly the temps I dry mine in with only slight passive air movement.
I set a dehumidifier on 60% takes around 9 days for smaller buds and around 11-14 days for larger dense buds.
