I watered these guys for the first time yesterday, but they still look pretty sad and pruny. Should I try and add more water, in case I didn’t water enough? I’d appreciate any advice I can get!

They’re slow so they might be drinking what you gave them now, but generally after repotting, they need to regrow the fine root hairs that take up water and they usually do that after they sense water. I would try watering again in a week and seeing if they finally drink it up then if they still look like this and you can do it again a week after if you see no change. At that point unpotting one and checking the roots would probably be a good idea. Good luck!
Don’t give up I had a shriveled one that seemed mushy and I thought I had waited long enough to water….so I watered and it still seemed shriveled a week later. So then I soaked it over night and it perked up nice and plump a few days later. Sometimes they just need a good bath especially in the really hot summer.
Sometimes they get wrinkly when preparing to split.
Takes a few days for them to fully absorb. Give it time and if no change wait a about weeks and water again a l Iil more thoroughly
