My kids moved an egg under the broody hen. Turns out it has pipped. I put the egg back under her with the pip upwards. what position should the egg be in? Should it be under her breast? Or will the hen have the sense to put it where it needs to be?

Well, Momma seems to have pushed the egg out a bit so it isn't directly under her breast, but more off to the side. And the pip is still upwards. Looking ok?

The chick should be fine. I know that having the unhatched eggs bounced around in the incubator by the other chicks doesn't seem to effect them.
