your light is way too high. They scretched out so much they cant support themselves and fell over.
Get like a drinking straw, pencil, or popsicle stick or something like that and make it a support stake to tie it to.

It totally depends on the light so I should of asked I will say. Most LED that draw 500W out the wall burn seedlings that small super easy. Iv done it myself ooops. You could repot that seedling I guess and bury some of the stretch as long as its not too wet.

How old are the plants underneath it and what size is the space the light is covering? Is it in a reflective tent or in the open?

Are you still dealing with the super long seedling?

Two seedlings have become straight and recovered but one is lagging behind and still not showing signs of recovery.

Ok you have it at 36 inches, but you also have it dimmer down to very low. = not enough light. Move light closer. To 24 inches. Keep it dimmed. Then everyday turn the brightness up a bit
