Default Help with Dehydrated and clamped neofinetia leaves

Hello everyone, this is my first post on this forum. I am new to orchid growing, and even newer to growing neofinetia and sedirea japonica orchids. Anyways, I recently bought a single tamakongo growth/fan, but when it arrived after a few days of being in a dry box, it was pretty dessicated looking. More specifically and concerning, the two uppermost leaves, or the newest leaves, are longer than the previous leaves on the growth, but they dried so much to sort of curl sideways instead of facing upwards. Additionally, the long upper leaves were also closed or clamped shut, as if they were folded and creased along the central vein of the leaf. I saw pictures of the orchid before shipment and this problem was present then, so I believe it occurred during shipping. I am curious if there is anything I can do to help plump the leaf up, or if the leaf will return to normal as the plant begins growing this spring, or if the leaf is probably going to remain as is and remain damaged. I am sure the plant is stable and not dying as I have since watered it several times, as well as planted it in new moss and keep it in a humid room with good lighting. I just am bothered by the weird leaves now and would consider buying a replacement tamakongo if there is no hope. thanks
