Wobbly airsacs in mailed guinea eggs

I'm incubating mailed eggs for the first time. And quite a few of the eggs have wobbly air sacs. My incubator lays eggs on the side and turns them that way, not the traditional up and down way in a white plastic egg turner. (As you can see in my video).
Is there anything I can do to try to stop the air sacs from wobbling? I didn't turn the turner on until day 3-4 of incubation as research suggested for mailed eggs.

I've included a link directly to my video.

It that an rcom incubator? I do not think you have room to set them big end up.

Wobbly air cells will likely be ok as long as they are not detached. Detached air cells will move down the side of the egg.

I hope you get some to hatch!

Not sure what an rcom incubator is but it's in a hovabator 27xx something or another, lol 😆

By lock down, i had 5 viable eggs, out of those i got 3 to hatch so I'm at least happy i got a few from my first mailed eggs. I thought I wasn't going to get any truth be told.
I didn't know what else to do so I just left them as is and crossed my fingers lol

That is good for detached air cells!

It can be a gamble purchasing egg that are mailed.
