you dicked the roots, too dry too wet, ripped etc. water in new transplants and walk away till recovered.

when transplanting I wait till the pot is dry and the dirt plug falls out of the pot with a tap/shake. I gently place this plug into the new hole and back fill and water. I never see wilt this way.

A good spray bottle misting with water can help a wilted plant. Some people use luke warm water.

Well I did almost the same you but I'm guessing I fucked up for transplanting late the roots were already on the sides

not sure but each time I transplant the roots are twirled around the bottom and up the sides. I try not to touch them and to get them back into dirt/water lighting speed. I've done this to plants in the past - no worries they recover, except this one time going to flower, something bad happened and I tossed her, didnt care nuff to look into it.

If you see the roots circling you can gently "GENTLY" pull them away from themselves so they dont keep following that pattern. Ive done this with several plants with no issues transplanting, they actually exploded the day after. I also presoak my soil, not with a bunch of water but enough for it to be thoroughly moist for a few days gives the roots a reason to go into the new soil..

My guess was the sun overwhelming but i guess this isnt the case, hopefully it isnt overwatering because if so its a gonner. When you lift on a leaf or a branch is it noodly or does it have some pressure in it? I would say to cover it regardless until it sorts itself out.

It feels noodly starting from the top of the main stem to the leafs

Noody is sign that its lost its turgor pressure (water uptake) thats why is feels limp, Im not sure if thats caused from you damaging the root system or lack of water. I would try watering it and see if it perks back up. If not I truly dont know man I wish I could better help you.
