You can try propping it up with a stick but usually this happens because of not enough light or damping off. You have plenty of light, so I'd lean towards over watered. Make sure you let the soil dry completely between waterings.

Probably water because i gave them a little spray at around 6 ish cos the pot looked bone dry

Ya, I never spray my plants, even as seedlings. It never leads to good results for me. I just water the soil directly.

Definitely spar it gently cause u gona mess up the root system! Just dont over water it at this stage they have very little roots so they dont need as much water. Also next time try and spray some water in the leaves

I usually go by the weight of the pot. I learn what the pot feels like dry then give them a little lift every once and a while to see how the weight compares. After a while you just kind of get a feel for it.

It's possible the spray just knocked it over and it will perk back up.
