Well, this is my first year growing peppers as well, so I'm no expert. Maybe your plants are just going through a bit of transplant shock? I know when I moved my peppers into the garden a couple of them were quite droopy for a day. Actually I was sure they were going to die because they were so droopy. But, after a couple days they were nice a perky and doing great. I'm sure someone else with more experience will be around soon with their opinion.
Good luck

I hate to say it, but it would probably be best to pull off any peppers that are on them right now and let them start over once they are recovered and perky. You want the plant to put its energy into the recovery not the fruit. But if the plants look fine, you can try letting them go.
It also looks like you still put them just a ittle close together for how big you expect them to get. Preferably you don't want the leaves of one plant touching the other, in order to maintain good air circulation and keep from spreading disease.
