If those veins are not red but more of a very pale pink to clear then he is very close or ready
The egg being so easy to see through is the sign I use along with veins looking drained
Maybe wet the membrane with coconut oil and see how the veins look if they look drained in and out then you can start to assist
Be careful and go slow just in case he still has a little yolk left
I’m thinking he doesn’t but could have a tiny one
Is he still chewing ?

The only veins would be way down at the bottom of the egg. I am at work now but have my daughter watching the plastic wrap. I will candle when I get home and assist if he looks ready.
