How to use Garden Basics water storage crystals?

I put these in after planting and now it looks like I didn’t dig them in enough as I was concerned about damaging roots.

Some will no doubt be lower down but are the ones on top wasted or worse will this cause roots to grow back trying to get them?

Should these only be used in an initial planting?
