I have never done seeds like that i germanate on kitchen towel then into soil.
just wait a bit longer problem with dropping them in soil is if they split and the tear is
the wrong way round like faceing up it has to do a u turn to straighten back up.
they will pop if there from a decent seed company,
Try the clam method paper towel,on bottom of a small saucer then piece on top a few sheets folded top and bottom then saucer on top then i tape them togeather and put them some where warm.i have 99.9% with seed's, but does not all ways mean the beans are gonna be front runners i keep the strongest
