Seed in soil method germinated but tap root pushed the soil up and now taproot exposed

This happened on Friday (07/17) night and Sunday (07/19) night I covered the whole thing (seed and taproot) with moist coco and put a clear cup over it to raise humidity a bit and praying for the best. Should I have done this?

It was planted directly in coco +perl mix about 1/4" deep but maybe i didn't tap the soil on top of it when i moistened it and the taproot just pushed it way out eventually. The taproot seems to be pointing down like I would expect and others have told me to cover it with moist medium and it'll figure itself out.

Thanks. Should my light be on or off? I have a Mars Hydro TS600 about 22-24" above the top of the cup that I'm using as a dome. Also should I remove the dome? Humidity outside of the dome is about 65% right now.

Appreciate the help. You've saved me about 10 future panic attacks lol. I'll try to learn patience. I thought I had patience but that is already proving to be false lol.

@CAPTAIN EFFIN FALCO Thanks for the advice earlier this week. Sprouted about 32 hours after I buried. I removed the cup/dome since the humidity in my tent is avg 55%. Watered a bit with 8 oz of pH 6.5 since I'm in coco +perl using organic dry amendments and pre-amended when putting the soil in the 5 gallon pot. Made sure to water only about 3-5 from the base of the plant since I'm in such a big pot.
