Cactus Peyote Seedling fell over, help please

Peyote is legal to grow in my country if you don't eat them (and I won't), so I bought peyote seeds that a flower shop near my house sells and I put like 8 seeds on the soil from the flower pot, and basically followed basic cactus growing instructions from the internet. Even though I collect many kinds of cactuses, it was the first time I planted seeds. Anyways, three of the seeds sprouted in just 3 days (this is day 6), and they were all fine, but one of the seedlings, appears to have fallen over, so It's not standing like the others... Should I do anything about it? I was gonna lift it and put more soil on the edges, but the other seeds haven't sprouted yet and doing that would ruin them... I already picked it up and put it to lean on the other seedling next to it, but still if you move it, it will fall over again. Is there anything I could do, or should I wait for it to grow roots that will go in the soil by themselves..? I would post a picture, but I have the seedling leaning on the other seedling, so you wouldn't understand that it has fallen...

I suggest getting a small pebble or 2, and use it as a brace for the cacti to stand against, so as to not fall over.
when I am starting my cacti.. I have to be very carefull so as not to damage developing roots. when I see a small mass of white radiating around the better part of the batch.. then I mist them from top, and the roots will be pulled down by gravity and the water from misting. If they still do not stand on their own, you can try using a toothpick, and a couple small pebbles to brace the cacti up. just be carefull not to damage the developing roots.

Thanks man. I hope I didn't damage the roots already because earlier I tried to push-penetrate the seedling inside the ground, it didn't work though...
