I don't know what your question is. Can't see the eggs. Can't tell what type of medium you are using for the eggs. The humidity and temperature looks good. What is your question?

It is most likely not a problem; however, if you are worried about it, just remove the tops briefly and wipe off the condensation on the undersides with a paper towel, then replace the tops on the containers. Doing this once or twice daily for several days will ultimately reduce the humidity in the containers.

Do you have a humidity goal in mind for the eggs? If so, I would stop wiping off the condensate when that humidity is reached.
