Grabbed 3 toadstools today all beautiful and settling in well, slowly expanding and polyps coming out, but one toadstools stalk is massive and its hunched over, will it be okay should i just leave it or prop it up?

Personally I would leave it, its able to stand on its own, they can flop down for a few days sometimes. I would just suggest to make sure it has some good flow, leathers like flow
 
yeah that is indestructible, unless you have bad water, I have cut my Tyree toadstool at least 3 times in the last 2 years and it is yet again the size of a dinner plate. I cut it into 2-3 inch frags and attach to rock, given so many away I have lost count!
 
I'd leave it. I currently have about 8 toadstools and the largest one (the mother of the others) tends to be flopped-over every morning. It's still happy, growing, and hosting a clownfish. I've had it for about 5 years.

Leave it. Toadstools are dramatic and at times I've them pout for weeks. It's new and should come around. Mine look terrible and are leaning over with no polyps out every morning before lights on. I'd say it looks pretty good for just being added.

id agree after hearing what others are saying, everything ive added today has come out very quickly, should be in full swing in the next week or so hopefully 🙏
