Assisted hatch - veins full absorbed?

I’m assisting a hatch on day 23, and one of the chicks seems to be breathing but otherwise not moving and I can’t see the beak. Is it malpositioned? Should I intervene further and break the membrane? I can’t tell if the veins are fully absorbed or not (I read that they’re never truly absorbed completely and will still be slightly visible). I feel like they’re definitely more absorbed than the one next to it, but I’m terrified of intervening too soon and causing bleeding. But I’m also scared she’ll die if I don’t help her! The egg in question is on the left

Hello! Did this little one make it? I’m in the same situation and panicking!
