After washing my hair on day 9 with slightly more pressure, there was some bleeding after, have I dislodged and lost grafts?

Hi all, On day 9 I decided to wash my head not only once but two times. Before the second time, I applied baby oil all over the recipient area for an hour or so before washing off to soften scabs. I washed in a circular motion with slight more pressure than usual. All looked fine to my eyes in the mirror. But I then took some photos with flash and realised there was blood on the grafts. My patient coordinator advised this is sizzling, the grafts may have moved inside the hole but not dislodged
