How long did you acclimate them for? I find snails need a long acclimation and when I finally introduce them to the tank I make sure they "stick" onto the glass instead of just dropping them in. Sometimes they sit there for days before they get a move on.

i second that opinion by christy. they are probably still acclimatizing not don't be surprised to see some casualties. If acclimatized properly, they will start scooting around quite quickly
