I think that your seedlings are dying/wilting due to lack of water. They only have a tap root at that stage, no lateral roots. You're giving them just a tiny little zone of moist soil to grow. Try saturating a larger area, and just wait longer until the next watering.
That is understood. But the TEMP was a contributing factor, and I am trying a technique to expand and maximize the tap root (bulk it up)... I will separate the temperature zone easier now as well I have a second (LOL Donated) T8, 4', 4 Tube light now to run in a different corner, and the heat from the lamp is taking over now for the heater I BAKED those seedlings in and under (heater and lights). I was pushing for a higher temp to promote the germination and failed to take enough precaution in protecting the fresh seedlings... Thanks I am still kicking myself in the ass, but I am working through this with a better grip on how to proceed. When I re-plant, the MAIN light I am running will be much LOWER to the germination pots, and the other Light and a Little of the heater IF needed, in a separate corner to proceed with the seedlings that are survivors...
ALSO, hear is a breakdown of the technique I was talking about.
