They kinda are though, some traps have weird shapes, and what happens the most is that the trap opens before the cilia fully form

Before the heat, did they form normally? Have any conditions changed, other than extreme heat, in the last few weeks?

Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes the reason is that I make bad decisions.

Before the heat, they also were weirdly shapen. Also, some traps get bigger than others, despite constant conditions. Nothing changed since i brought them in a week ago

If they were doing this before the heat, then it's probably just something this plant is going to do. As long as it's still growing, I wouldn't worry about it.
But I would still wiggle them up a bit to ease the choke on the growth point.

I wanted to come back to this topic, because since i put them outdoors they have been making nice healthy traps.

Thanks for the reply, just trying to absorb some knowledge.

It wasn't for any pest, it was for mold because I had to bring them in for the summer.
