This guy arrived and I put him into this chamber. It came with some sphagnum moss around the roots. I left this and potted in sphagnum and perlite. I try to water daily but I missed a day and the top of the became just slightly moist and the leaves looked dryish. I then tray watered it. It has not improved. This started around 3 or 4 days after it arrived.

Hard to tell from that photo but I'd assume it's rot. If it's been watered every day and then stood in a tray of water in a high humidity environment that could do it. Root rot will often look like the plant drying out because its unable to uptake enough water to keep itself healthy after the roots rot out
It had only been in the environment for a few days. I just removed the moss that it came in and this is what it looks like.

Imho that's a gonner first off if your humidity is that high don't water every day I personally sometimes water 2 times a week sometimes once a week it depends on the soil some plants are definitely more sensitive. I personally have underwatered severely some plants and they always come back, I don't recommend that however let the soil tell you because a routine doesn't always work I also don't bottom water nepenthes and try to not let them sit in water. Also do you have any pictures of what the plant looked like when it arrived? Because that shouldn't happen if it was just 4 days, I'd probably contact the seller if it had only been that long..
