I planted my first azaleas and may have screwed up

I just bought my house last winter and was excited to do some landscaping this spring. I planted 2 Delaware Valley white and 3 Hot Shot azaleas 2 weeks ago. The Delaware Valley are filled with buds (as they were when I bought them) but the leaves are all droopy.

I planted them on a Friday and the following Monday-Weds it rained a total of close to 3 inches. Following that we had a couple day spell of close to 90 temps here in NY. I thought they were thirsty from the heat so made sure to keep them watered starting maybe that Sat or Sunday after the rain. They haven't shown any signs of improvement. Are they lost? Was it overwatering? Thanks!!
