You can Jerry rig it with some Saran Wrap on top and rubber bands holding the Saran Wrap on the jar

It looks like you might be able to put it deeper in the jar and only fill a little bit of water? That way the jar would hold it more upright. You could also use a twist tie, clothespin, or something similar to hold the stems up!

the stems and pretty stuck in place 😭

Bummer! In that case you might want to cut off the single stem, so the other two can stand upright. It may or may not affect growth time, because there would be less water loss but fewer leaves to photosynthesize. Overall I don’t think it would hurt the cutting/future plant tho.
