In the first picture, they were straining for light. So they increase their surface area so that they can absorb the most light possible. Now you have better lights, so they don't need to stretch out as much. They still look healthy. And you don't have anywhere near too much light for them, so I think they will look fine.

It will take a while for the shrooms to adjust. Corals need to be acclimated to light also. Most times when a big lighting change happens you should put some window screen material in several layers and then remove one layer every 5 days till they are all gone.
