Depending on your location, VFT should be kept outside as long as possible, there isn't a thing as "too much sun" unless the temperatures start to rise. The reason your plants are probably burning is because they aren't used to direct sunlight yet and it cause the same burn it would cause us if we were tossed into summer sun, they just need some time to adjust to it. Starting them off in the shade is fine and then gradually over the next week or so, bring them into full sun. You can also put them directly into full sun, the current growth will probably burn and die off, but the new growth will be fully acclimated.

Outdoor natural sunlight is best for any plant and will really help its entire health.

Completely agree with bvalente ^

Alright thanks
