you need wind protection so the leaf stalks do not break.

Are you growing in a shaded area? Is there any tan or orange staining where the leaf stalks break?

use wind protection and/or secure vines more in the future by staking or burying so they don't get tipped over.

you said "they seem to be ok just laying over" if they seem to be ok, then chances are they are photosynthesizing and contributing to growth. the clock's not broke, don't fix it!

Tremor,
Why the question on tan or staining? Do you think an SVB may have gotten in there? I noticed one of my leave fell over today.

Fusarium & Rhizoctonia can exhibit these symptoms. However when leaves fall over from a fungal rot we usually see other symptoms as well.
