Should I lay my eggs down with detached air cells?

I just bought some serama eggs off of eBay and they all came with detached air cells I read online that if eggs have detached air cells you should stand them up on the bigger end of the egg and leave them like this until the air cells reattach it's self I managed to put the eggs upright in my incubator with cardboard paper to make them stay put as you can see in the picture but I was wondering how long do I have to wait until the air cells reattach to the egg and do I have to turn the eggs manually for now on? Because I really don't want to or can I just put back the egg tray turner back in the incubator and lay the eggs back down.

It's recommended to let eggs "rest" pointy side down for 12 to 24 hours after shipping. I do 24 or close to it.

I would just lay those on their sides after you've let them sit for however long you choose to. Some also suggest not turning shipped eggs for their first couple of days in the incubator. This I've done both ways. Not sure it mattered.
