Pics.
You mean they're bottom pinning? If they're turning themselves on their side I'd just put it on it's side. This can abort the pins if you don't give them a proper environment so let me see your FC and where it's located and all the stuff involved with it so we can dial it in first before you take that move. Alternatively you can just keep righting it until it naturally fixes itself. The mushrooms will start to grow flat against the foil and the cake will balance.

I set it back up but it seems it wanted to fall again and the other cake caught him this is the only one doing this maybe cause I had the jar upside down

Seen a thread on here where rr said to put a rock on it to hold it down that the mushroom will flatten out that one cake has 6 really big pins on the bottom of it

You could also do a simple casing for them http://www.fungifun.org/English/Casing I had the same problem on my last grow, so I cased them and it is all soooooooooo much easier! Nice even flushes, easy to harvest, easy to keep everything moist and happy. I've got some Mazatapec brf jars colonizing now and plan to case again.

If the top is dry, you can put a spoon of vermiculite on top of the cake and then soak it with water. That might get some pins forming up higher too.
Congratulations! RR

No, I'm pretty sure what RR was saying is that the mushrooms will push out just fine from the bottom of a cake if that's where they formed. He was saying you could put a big rock on top of the cake and the mushrooms would still generate the hydraulic force to push out and grow.
Flipping a cake with a bunch of pins often causes them all to abort. If the cake is tipping over, it sounds like harvest time. RR

Here's the culprits I've just been readjusting her every time I fan/ mist the other cake has stopped it from hitting the perlite. It seems to be growing quickly. It's as big as my thumb.  I didn't know if flipping it would compromise its growth or not thanks
