So you had a combination of things go wrong here.
Light is too far away which resulted in the stretch of the tall one.
It looks like the little guy has a bit of the seed casing still clinging too the first leaf head. See if you can’t clear that with tweezers. Be very careful with the stem and plant you do not want to break anything.
also you will want to transplant the tall guy as in the next few days. Make sure you bury as much of the tall stem as you can in the soil it will become root mass in future. You will want just the first leaves poking above the substrate.

good luck.

an ambient room temp above 80 can also cause the seedling to stretch so be careful with lowering the light if the temp was above 80 even for just one day..
