Shrinkwrapping is usually caused by low humidity, what humidity is your incubator and are you sure?

I don't have a humidity thing it just tells the temperature

That is likely your problem. Can you get a hygrometer from a petshop/plant shop? Walmart sometimes has them?

If i was able to up the humidity before others pip do they have a chance to hatch on their own

If i was able to get humidity up just not knowing how much do the others that had not piped yet have a chance to hatch

I'm honestly not sure, the humidity is likely similar to the humidity in your area, you can look that up and low humidity can make the membrane tough.
You can get a washcloth or papertowel wet (and wrung out) with warm water and place it where eggs aren't, to try to boost the humidity.

Today it's at 49 % do I had add hot water before 2 of them pipped but I think it's going to be if I want them to survive I will need to help again
