Is this damping off? Dark areas on new true leaves

I just transplanted these Bibb lettuce seedlings last night. They had been in peat pellets and were getting too crowded. I removed the netting and the roots were starting to come through but I don't think I damaged any. All 6 that I transplanted have a dark area on the true leaves which just came out a few days ago. It is a little hard to see in the pictures, this is the best I could do up close. On the far left edge of the leaf, there is a dark area, almost looks like a shadow but it isn't. I used Miracle Gro potting mix. They look ok to me at the stem and I know it says that is where damping off occurs, looking at them I think I overwatered but I am not sure. I'd like to figure out what I'm doing wrong because I will have another group to transplant in a few days. Thanks for any help.
