Your picture quality isnt sufficient, the lighting and the picture quality combined make it difficult to make an educated guess.

Old school is fine, but you should remove the foil after sterilization and leave it off.

Cost Effective Alternative to SFD's
If you've got a fabric store around you.. Michaels.. Jo-Ann, maybe even Wal-mart you can find Eco-Fi, FriendlyFi, all softs of other names, Its a synthetic felt mesh, it comes with tape on the back, firm, and floppy.
They're a buck a piece and you can get a crap ton of quart sized pieces out of em

So you have no dry verm layer?
Since when is foil a substitute for SFDs? 
The foil gets removed after sterilization so your dry verm layer(your old school filter) stays dry.....

If there is just open holes underneath that foil,
DONT TOUCH IT.
Its gone this far without contams, let them fully colonize without moving them an inch.
It'll take longer, but once fully colonized they'll be resistant to airborn contamination -
This is what I would do, but Im a noob

Wait.....those are rye jars? And you have no filter?
Your jars are contaminated if that is the case...I guarantee it.
Foil is not a filter....it is a sheet of aluminum....it filters literally nothing.

Smell your jars? Is it a pleasant mushroom smell, a tad sweet to some, including me. If not there contaminated, which sucks. For next time you are really going to want to use a filter. Think of your jar as a dick and the hole on top of the jar as your pee hole. Now the air all around you is a giant dirty filthy HIV having run of the mill WHORE are you going to risk fucking her with just a piece of aluminum foil? Then say sorry and good-bye to your penis lol
Hey hacker, I leave my foil on my jars and have not noticed any problems...
