Suggest Cure For A Problem With The Skin

I had Nexplanon put in 2 days ago and when it was put in it was flat. This afternoon I noticed when lightly touching it that it is turned sideways, so that the skinny edge is closest to my skin, not the flat part. Is this bad and should I go back and get it checked out?
