I just put in some corals in my tank 105 gallon 2 250 mh 1 40watt atinic 1 daylight flourest. Some of the corals dont look good should i put them on the bottom i have them on top on my live rock now?

if you just put them in they need time to adjust. i wouldn't move them just yet. just be patient. they should come around after a couple days.

well i got them about 4 days ago? do you think that is too long some look fine but some look really bad the colt coral looks bad. And thats the one i really liked. That seems to be my luck in this hobby

colts take at least a week imo. mine did the same thing. it looked all floppy and weak, then it gradually started to perk up. how do the little polyps on it look? are they open at the tips? this is a good indicator of how they are doing. what else looks bad, and how does it look?

Colts love lights, the more lights the better. Well at least that's what some books say. If you put it in the middle part of the tank and it gets more light, it might thrive better. Just wait but if after a week not showing improvement, I would move it up a little.
