Just be patient. It may take several days before they decide to move. This happens all the time. To accelerate moving, I will sometimes put the light closer so they can feel the heat, but you have to be SUPER careful so that you don't bake them. You would think that they would instinctively move away from the heat, but I have killed ants before doing this, so again be careful if you choose to do this.
