I moved some plants around to reach a different plant at the back of my set up. I apparently put them under a specifically hot spot. Within the next few days they completely dried out and I never noticed

. Will my plants be ok?

There was a cape that was damaged too but every pic I take it too large

Get the media moist and the plants in a cooler spot. They'll likely come back as long as the roots didn't dry up.

Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes the reason is that I make bad decisions.

Already got them some water and in a shaded location. Now we wait.

I would also bag them in case the root system is compromised. You have to balance that with watching for rot, so it can be tricky.
