Yeah if they are eating they should be just fine, just give them some time. Sometimes clowns just pick a spot they like and stay near it, like hosting an anemone. If they aren't eating or otherwise look unhealthy then it could be a bigger issue.

I wouldn't worry about anything right now. Just give them time and monitor them. Keep feeding well and keep water parameters spot on.

Do you have an anemone in the tank? They are the natural clownfish that always has a nem in the wild. My maroons will not stay away from their nem for long at all.
