Should I add more soil and bury the plant so the stem is shorter and more stable?

I'm growing outdoors and during the first few days my seedling stretched and the stem is pretty long. I already transplanted into a 3 gallon pot but did not bury deeper. Should I add more soil and make the plant shorter? If so how deep should the stem be? Pic attached.

This is quite normal for seedlings, if you add extra soil you increase the risk of rotting the stem so I would advise against it. Just put extra support and you should be fine.
