Are these cracks (spaces with no follicles) normal 4 - 5 days after a hair transplant? (Photos)

Esizkur
Hello I had my hair transplant exactly 5 days ago, yesterday (day 4) I noticed a small crack with no hairs in it, I didn't pay much attention to it, but today I notice more... One side was done by my doctor and the other by a nurse, and the side that is having more empty spaces from my perspective is the side that was done by the nurse (left side)... is this normal? am I being paranoid? or does this mean that these cracks will definitely have no hair in them in the future?
