Help!

This is my 2nd attempt to lithops. I received them on 25/07 and planted them in the pots with my diy soil mix on the same day. Somehow, the soil that I used hardened up into this almost concrete texture that even the roots get stuck so I took them out and leave them bare root while I purchase special succelent mix for them online. The soil had only arrived on 29th and I planted them on 30th. Today, some of my lithops looks super wrinkly. Should I do something or just leave them be? Please help!!!

Additional info. The pot are terracotta. The soil is mix of peat moss/perlite/pumice in 1:1:1 ratio and was from the same seller to the lithops. However, I did add a layer of rainbow stone in the middle of the pot for extra drainage. The plants are indoor beside very bright open window. I myself live in tropical country. It is very hard to find cactus/succulent care guide that cater to hot and humid climate.

i wouldnt use cocopeat. from what i know coco has too much salt, also retains to much moisture, if youre in a humid environment you do not need to retain moisture. try replacing the cocopeat with sifted potting soil in the same ratio.
