So I’m on day 11 of incubation and have candled them previously and all very healthy looking with lots of blood veins
But now only 1 out of the 12 are really visible and all the others are on the side but embryo still visible

It's hard to tell from the pic, but it looks ok. Can you get better photos? Don't toss any until they're at least day 14.
 
So is it normal for veins to be be harder to see as the chick gets bigger?
Yes and no. Once the chick fills up most of the egg, the veins are a little harder to see but still visible. Darker colored shells like brown, blue, and green are harder to see through vs white, cream, and light brown. From what I can tell in your picture, your egg looks okay.
 
Can you get a photo with the light from the top like this? This is a day 10 egg. You can use a phone flashlight if you don’t have a specific candler or LED flashlight and a very dark room.🙂
