Mite Identification

Hey guys, I haven’t been posting for a while but few I always get better discussion here than on some of the fb groups. So hope everyone has been doing great with their grows!

I need some experienced advice on what I believe are a beneficial soil mite in my babies/small tent.

they are fast movers, all white, have not harmed or even gone onto my plants much; they generally have stayed in the soil.

I was kinda freaking out and preemptively sprayed them with Organicide 3-1 (which somewhat harmed the plants cause they are still so small). I have a video too, but keeps saying even a 17 second video is over max post size.

anyway, please verify, I believe they are Stratiolaelaps scimitus (Hypoaspis miles)

I don't know if it's Stratiolaelaps scimitus. I don't see the "pointy head" on that bug. That being said, the tail region is similar so maybe. Could be the angle of the pic.
