That is normal. It's NOT health related. The other 2 plants are more hardened off though. The top plant is actually the B52 and it is a more recent arrival but it's not unhealthy. The bottom plant is the Flexx clone.
VFTs make prostrate leaves most of the time. They go through cycles where they make erect leaves and some where they make in between erect and prostrate leaves but most of the time they go through cycles where they make prostrate leaves. It does not have anything to do with their health one way or another. The currently prostrate leaves will not bend upwards. They are prostrate because that is how they are making their leaves right now.
VFTs ordinarily make heart shaped prostrate leaves in the Springtime, tall erect leaves in the Summertime, thin short prostrate leaves in the Fall, and small heart shaped leaves with small traps on them during their Winter dormancy, if they have leaves out then. But when VFTs are propagated through tissue culture and have not experienced a Winter dormancy yet, they sometimes make the seasonal leaves out of their correct season till they have their first Winter dormancy and then make them in sync with the correct season from then on. Prostrate Spring leaves sometimes curl downward a little in transit too. But this and the leaves being prostrate does not have anything to do with their health one way or another. This is also covered in your FAQ sheet.
In case you are wondering why these type of plants grow prostrate leaves and traps, it is so they can catch more bugs. Prostrate leaves and traps catch both flying and crawling insects. Erect leaves with traps up in the air catch only flying bugs. Guess which one winds up catching more bugs?
