If you gently squeeze the succulent and its too squishy it has too much water it should be firm :)

Both are in need of moisture. The left is very dehydrated. The right needs to be watered also. It’s leaves are just slightly wrinkled. The cause can be underwatering or overwatering. If overwatered, the roots rot and cannot take up moisture.
