They're leaning!:( Is this a problem?

I've noticed that the largest growth is leaning a bit more than it was before.

I usually have the cactus outside all day with direct sun, but I had to drive cross country and they were stuck in the car for 4 days with only a few hours of sun:( I now have them sitting in a window sill. Is the leaning normal? Or should I be concerned? (First picture is when I first got them, second picture was taken today.) #CactusClique #ThumbCactus

in my experience most cacti lean towards the sun, so if it’s in the window leaning towards outside, i think it’s okay

I hope you know the smaller type of barrel cactus grow 2ft by 1ft round /other type( can't tell by picture) grows to 10feet tall each one needs its space . Most cactus roots grow 3times their height into the ground

It's all one cactus, don't worry!:) I just call them the Erold Triplets because it looks like 3 different ones. I believe that's what you meant by your comment, sorry if I misread, thank you for the info!

Oh okay, thank you! This is my first time having any sort of plant so I worried my trip caused some kind of issue.
