Tarantulas stand in all kinds of weird positions from time to time and especially so after a moult. That´s nothing to worry about.

What do you use as substrate?

It looks fine to me, if it just recently molted it takes them a while to recover and they will get into some odd positions while they harden. If you don't already know don't feed until the fangs have turned all the way black.

It's coconut fiber I cut up with scissors and let it sit in hot water, drained and washed with warm water, squeezed and let it dry and then put it in there. Under it theres some soil. Is that okay?

Your spider is fine. You can do without the loose coco fiber and just use soil. Is less work

I evened out the poll because it's both stressed and fine, moulting is a very stressful process. You'll see it in all kinds of weird positions until it's fully hardened, it'll mostly be stretching.

That’s a normal stance or stretching post molt , unless you see death curl or it hunched over like its dying they are fine .
My pokie however was walking so unusual , if you saw that thread .
