The ones that don’t have it are dead. They have no chance of hatching, even the ones that do are probably dead.

I figured I'd have to adjust some more and try again just in case though since some are still moving and chirping should I make a small hole in the air sac

Yes. Be careful which tools you use, as you don’t want to go too far if the chick is malpositioned. I will find the assisted hatching article. Read it before doing anything.
