I choose...to be the best me I can be, to be the strongest me I can be, to learn the most I can. I don't know what comes next. But I'm gonna go into it balls to the walls, flames in my hair, and full speed ahead.
Zone 6, 45 inches precipitation, hard clay soil

Some of the cuttings have too many leaves that you may want to remove some as they are wilting already. Keep the bucket in the bright shade as the gentleman suggested. Figs are easy to propagate so maybe all will root just fine as is. When a cutting successfully roots, there will be new growth showing and you can gently tug the twig to feel the resistance. Or put the cuttings in individual small pots then you can check the new roots coming out of the draining hole. It will make later transplanting easy too as other plants won't get damaged.

Thank you so much! And when I permanently plant it, should it go in part shade or full sun?

After the leaves dropped the little trees will be dormant throughout the winter. Keep them indoor like in tge basement with moist soil but they don't need excess water or fertilizer. Plant them outside after any risk of frost in a sunny spot with slightly acidic soil.
Do you know what the mother tree look like? That will give you an idea of a mature tree. When a fig tree takes off, it can grow very fast.

Here are my hardy Chicago figs from hardwood cuttings. I started in early spring and they are quite leafy.
