Can anyone here identify it more specifically?

Thanks!

It looks like a (very stressed) Parodia.
Maybe P. Parodia sellowii or similar?
Are they seedlings or offsets at the base?

There are a few offsets but they are small.

I repotted this cactus about a month ago. It is important to me that this plant does well. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Agreed on the ID. Put it in a position with afternoon shade or filtered sun.

It even looks like a Gymnocalycium to me. Parodia cacti are kind of more sun tolerant and do not develop such coloration at full sunshine. Whatever is it will feel better in more shaded spot.

It could be G. marsoneri subs. matoense.
