Hello, my 3-toed box turtle laid these 3 eggs 2 days ago, i collected immediately after she was done and put them in a deli cup filled with vermiculite that i used a 1/1 ratio by weight of water to moisten.

They were slightly dented when i was collecting them, and it seems it hasn't gotten any better in the incubator. I'm incubating them at 83-84F to get females. The humidity inside the incubator is 87%, however i could not fit a humidity gauge in the deli cup with the eggs. What should i do to get them to be not dented? I added a tiny bit of water inside the deli cup last night and it hasn't improved. I'm scared of messing this up and killing the eggs. This is my first time incubating eggs, so any advice is much appreciated.
