Force redirect permanently on RedirectMatch from $_GET url to semantic url

I am doing some .htaccess settings to improve SEO with semantic URL's. Currently when you go to the semantic URL www.website.com/profile/exampleusername it works perfectly although i am still able to access the same page without any red alarms rining with the pure get request in the url. www.website.com/profile?username=exampleusername. I have tried to user both the redirect and RedirectMatch but i can't get it to work.

Here is the relevant code from the .htaccess

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /profile\.php\?username=([^\s&]+)&buddy_identifier=([^\s&]+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^profile/%1/%2? [R=302,L]
RewriteRule ^profile/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ profile.php?username=$1&buddy_identifier=$2 [L,NC,QSA]

I want to be able to go to www.website.com/profile?username=exampleusername and then be redirected to www.website.com/profile/exampleusername

You can use these rules:

Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /profile(?:\.php)?\?username=([^\s&]+)\s [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /profile/%1? [R=302,L]

RewriteRule ^profile/([^/]+)/?$ profile.php?username=$1 [L,NC,QSA]
