Have you candled them? Do you have something that you can put a lid on to help keep in humidity? Do you have a thermometer? one of those things to measure humidity?

Should i put the eggs in here for humidity under the heat lamp? Do i put a lid?

 

[Raysal]

I put it in a plastic container and just put the lid on top didn't close it is this right?

 

[Raysal]

Should i spray a bit of water inside the plastic container to create humidity?

If you have a thermometer, that's the only way to be sure you're at the right temperature. It looks like a fair attempt in an emergency, and it could work. If you can, try to set it up so the damp cloths are near but not directly touching the eggs. The way you have it with the lid ajar is good, you want to retain heat and moisture but still allow ventilation.
They could make it. Fingers crossed for you.

Sounds like you're doing everything you can. At day 19, they're pretty much done developing and still stand a chance of hatching. Humidity is super important right now, you could put another dish like they eggs are in with a wet paper towel in the container with them to help with humidity.
Good luck!
