So what can I start doing to start leveling these out?

You want to even out their height?
1. separate the tall and short.
2. One light at 26” over the short ones.
3. One light at 18” over the taller ones.
The ones with the light further away should stretch a little. Abort mission when they get close enough to the same height.
should only take a few days to do it.

Clearly they are no getting enough light, plus you need to work on your watering habits. Water the plant, not the pot. At that stage, those plants only need a 1/4 cup of water at the base of the stem every 3rd day. Anyway... if you look at your plants you can clearly see those (2) problems have caused your plants not to even begin popping out secondary nodes, even though they already have 5 - 6 main nodes. In general, when a seedling hits its 3rd main node, the 1st nodes side branch should have already popped, which none of your seedling show as happening on any of their main nodes. So like I said, drop the light, and use better water habits, so those babies can truly come back and reward you for all your hard work!

In my other post when the plants first started turning yellow I was told to bring the lights up and to water the plants till i have a little run off and then not water them again until they were dry again.
I followed those suggestions and the plants started growing again. Right now most are gaining 1 inch a day.
