I think the plants are in a too deep a container. Recovery time of succulents with no roots does take a long time.

I do not know where you are located, but if it is winter time on your side, and this plant is indoors, much longer wait for recovery. If you do know there are no roots yet, please do not water. You will just further damage any new roots growing if the media below is staying too wet than needed since the container it it is growing in is too deep.

At most it will need more than a month if your growing area is staying cooler. Indoor growing is always a challenge, especially if the location indoors is not south facing, and during winter time, light levels and duration is still fairly short.

Give yourself some more time...and have more patience. You can try and stake the plants a bit to help it stay more stable till it gets to anchor itself with new roots later.

In the meantime, do not water, it will just consume whatever moisture it has in its leaves, till it redirects its energy to root formation. Or if you do want to water, water far along the edge of the container, not too close to the base. I usually shore up more pumice or gritty material to the base, to protect that part, got to make sure apart from root rot, it does not go further up to the crown of the plant.
