I tried Google and it said it could be some sort of environmental stressor, but idk what could be bothering them. The pots do feel light, so I probably need to water them, but the one with larger leaves has been like that even after watering it the last time. The humidity stays pretty consistently between high 50%s and mid 60%s, and it has the grow lights on it (they're only 5W each but I have them on 12 hour timers)

I’m no expert but I do have a half dozen nice begonias. Firstly, I don’t let mine dry out. I have in the past and they don’t like it at all, I keep moist, not soaking wet but never real dry, I also spray my plants daily. They love the humidity. Once every two weeks I spray with a liquid kelp dilute. They are under very good grow lights (not sure if 5 watts are enough). Yours look fine to me. Just keep them hydrated. I hope it helps a bit.
Up the humidity in that space and they are reaching for more light. Angel wings are supposed to point down they lean up to catch more light if they aren’t getting enough.
Some of my canes will do this if the ambient humidity drops/fluctuates. I live in a high humidity area (gulf coast) and this has happened frequently this spring (regional drought). Humidity fluctuations are causing issues for mine.
