Look up Stomatella snails and see if that's a match for your specimens. If so, they're harmless/beneficial CUC.
No they aren't thoes. I have a few of thoes alrety.
They aren't flat. They also don't seem to have much of a mouth.

Just to double check, do you think it looks like any of these (sources linked below in the order their photos appear):

 Stomatella auricula (Dove Snail, Shell-less Snail, Slug Snail, Ear-shell)

Maybe like that fourth one?
They never seem to flatten out like all the stometella I've seen.
