Matt,
With the cell being opened on the side, I doubt the bees are going to accept this queen. I suspect you have found out why they open the cell on the side, she cannot get out and they can dispatch her.
Sometimes the bees do not allow the first emerging queen to kill the other queens when they plan on, what I call super swarming. They keep the queens locked in the cells and keep the free queen away from them. After that queen swarms, then they do it again and a week or less later, they swarm again. Sometimes they do this so many times the the remaining hive fails.
