This guy is leggy. Is it normal for this kind of succulen...
It's not "new," but I had them for a while with no plant card, and now I decided to bring them inside because of the storm. Also, they've been leggy even before I bought them. Anyway, is this normal?

I was wondering that the pot might have been a bit too large, but since they're growing ok, I wouldn't change anything.
They have shallow roots and they don't need deep pots. In addition, the bigger pot, the more water retention in the abundance of soil, and the water retention is bad for succulents.
More light won't harm them. They like full direct Sun. They need to be acclimatised gradually though. At first, 2 h of full direct Sun in the morning. After a week, increase to 4 h of full direct Sun in the morning. Then adding gradually full direct afternoon Sun, except the hottest hours of midday.

It's completely normal. The top is compact, with the hint of red. It means that the plant is getting enough sunlight.
It says in your avatar 0.15 m to light, direct. That's the perfect spot.
I don't agree with @ActiveOtanthus

I think @SvelteKingfern is right, some succulents are more ground level and will go leggy looking for light if their is not enough like echiveras. And others are a bit more branch outy like this looking at similar plants it looks like its quite natural for this type
@SvelteKingfern is the best! She helped me learn how to care for succulents and now I have a huge collection. I would definitely do whatever she says 💚🪴
