not enough head space in canning

I did not allow enough head space while canning quart apricots. The jars are not vacuuming down. I need some guidance. Thank you for your input.

All of the jars vacuumed down I learned a lesson. I believe they will be ok.

Did you get to hear the pinging?? :)
A canner's dream.

Some jars will pop down while still in the canner and some after they sit on the counter for awhile.
How much head space did you allow?

I would say about a quarter inch. I will keep an eye on them.
