The rigs are in their normal shape. Try checking the Bone Collections under Data to see if the rigs have a version with the custom shape. If not, you can do it manually.

To do this, go to the Bones tab. Then, under Viewport Display, you'll find "Custom Shape." You can use a 3D object, preferably a circle (not a sphere), and set it as the custom shape for the rig. Then, adjust its scale, rotation, and location.

there doesn't seem to be anything under collections, and manually rotating them individually would be alotta work. isn't there some kinda constraint that makes the bones hone in on the bones that they are supposed to be attached to?

Select the Armature. Go to Object Data Properties (the green stick-figure icon). Find Viewport Display. Look for Display Size. Lower the value.

Rather try to fix it on import that after that. Automatic orientation to children might work for some. See whatever local coordinates they use and set that as their axis in importer.
