Does this look like sunburn to you? I have several VFT and all look good besides these two. They are all cared for the same way. I use distilled water to water them. They are tray watered and I allow the water to absorb and wait until the top moss is just moist to the touch before adding about 1/4 inch of water to the tray. They get about 4-5 hours of direct morning sun, 4 hours of filtered sun under the shade of a tree, then around 4 hours of direct afternoon sun. They seem to but putting on new traps as shown in the pictures. Was wondering if there is anything I need to do or if you think they will recover on their own.

Yup, sunburn.
However, I would wiggle the plants up a bit, maybe 1/4th of an inch. They appear to be a tad deep, maybe choking a smidge.
Otherwise, let 'em be and they'll do well after they recover.
