Quick, help! How do I make roots stand up in cut tray?

So duh I seem to have overlooked an important detail here. Some seeds have a nice tap root and need to go into the Root Riots I have. Only problem is they don't stand up on their own as they're slightly tapered in at the bottom.

I don't have one of those tray's with individual plugs that I can stick these in. All I have is basic open cut trays(with little grooves cut into bottom running full length). I guess I figured they would stand up on their own.

I do have some 2" and 5" net pots and hydroton I could use I guess. These seedlings will all eventually go into my RDWC with 6" 5 gallon lids. But I don't have all that gear yet(a few more days). So I need to put these seeds into these Root Riots now and put them in a make shift propagator(2 cut trays, one upside down on top).

I feel like I'm missing a basic obvious step here.....Maybe I should take a day off from smoking
