Pulling out Transplanted Hair Post Op FUE

I’m 5 weeks post op now and still have transplanted hair that haven’t fallen out yet. I tried using DermMatch to conceal it. But applicator pulled out like 15 transplanted hairs. Will they grow back or are they damaged since I forcibly pulled them out instead of letting them fall naturally?

The hairs that remain in the recipient area after a hair transplant that do not grow, are the remaining hairs in the grafts and if you pull them out (they come out easily) there is no harm done. The new hair grows from the stem cells that were transplanted with the grafts.
