Is there something wrong with my flytraps?

So mid last year i got a small venus flytrap at bunnings (Australian Hardware Store). At the time it was dormant. I'm not too sure whats happening to my flytraps but they look very different. The one in the blue pot is growing well but the traps are all bunched up on the one side of the plant and the traps have begun to grow a lot smaller. The other flytrap isn't progressing as well and is a lot smaller despite me having got them at the same time. I live in North Queensland Australia so its mid summer. Is the problem the fact that I put them in a place where they don't get consistent lighting all day? I have them on the patio so that they get sun in the morning but not in the afternoon. I put them there since it's goes as high as 45 degrees Celsius (113 F). One more thing, the soil is beginning to become tightly packed since i repotted them last November. Would it be good idea to loosen the medium or should leaving it be fine? The medium is 1:1 peat moss and perlite.
