Yamato numa-ebi or Amano Shrimp are very sensitive to water condition or
change.
Your biggest mistaken was to dumped them in without the slow process of
letting them get used to your tank water. At this stage if they are still
grouped in one corner meant they are likely to go too. Unless they are very
strong prior to shipping to you.
Well, don't know if it would help now, you might like to do a 50% water
change.
I did manage to save some long time back when I too simply dump them into
the tank.
Good luck!
