HELP! Cuttings in bad condition

Hi, I’m a newbie in the succulent community. I have a couple of succs that I’m growing and wanted to add more to my collection. I ordered a batch of cuttings on Amazon. I don’t know if it was the stress of the trip (hot weather, rough handling?) but the cuttings aren’t in great condition. Some of the leaves are soft and limping, have black or white spotting or have broken leaves. It’s also very fragile. One of the leaves fell off while I was rearranging it for the photo shoot. And about half of the cuttings have no stem. I thought clipping from the base of the plant was a big no-no? Despite all this, I do want to try and successfully propagate these babies. They been out to dry for one day- I think the majority of the cuttings had time to callous over during delivery. Should I wait a bit more before putting them in soil? Should I tear off some leaves to make more room for the stem? Please help, any advice is appreciated. Thank you! I’ve attached some pics below.
