Pic on the right is when I got it YESTERDAY and the pic on the left is today. Why is it moving around? Is it too much light? Its not in direct sunlight and I know this is a low light plant so I have it in a shady window with SOME light

Welcome!

Did the nursery call it a Prayer Plant? The common name refers to its habit of folding up in low light. I think your plant needs a little brighter light. It will still fold up at night.

Your plant is also adjusting to its new location (different light, humidity, temp, etc).
