Pipping at wrong end and dry membrane!

Hey! It's been 48 hours since the pip and I checked and there are still veins, they are really bright red too.
Hes still moving and peeping a lot.
I'm assuming the veins would be dull or not there if hes fully absorbed so I'm not going to assist. Do you have any more advice?
Yes once he is absorbed the veins will be dull and empty
Is the hole still by his beak ?
I would check him every 3-4 hours for veins

How is baby doing now ?
Hes desperately trying to get out although I don't think hes finished absorbing, at least the veins.
I've made the hole bigger so he can get his beak out because hes trying so hard to get out, I dunno if hes stuck or what. Hes wing is all the way out right now but now I'm just trying to help him with his beak and head.

Kind of really need help, not sure what to do.
His foot is half way out, I'm nervous to pull the membrane out without bleeding. He sounds in distress.

EDIT:
Here are pictures, my phone wouldn't focus so I said what was what.
(The yellow spot in one of the "holes" is yolk from another egg, haven't gotten to clean it since the eggs are in there)

I would take the bottom shell off and let him push out once his head is out you can look in for yolk sac. If none let him push out if there is some place him in a small cup or bowl with him still in the bottom of the egg. Wrap the egg and him in dry paper towel to keep him upright so he doesn’t push out till absorbed.

My moms boyfriend helped me with getting his head out and hes currently laying half way out of the egg in the incubator and hes just resting.
Should I still look for the yolk sac or wait for him to finish resting?

When I candled him before doing anything, the veins were duller than last night but still had a red tint to them. I think hes finishing the yolk sac and now on the veins?

look now, because if there is yolk left he needs making safe so he doesnt rupture it, dont pull him out, but just look carefully at his tummy area, make sure theres no yolk sac there.
