What Causes Difficulty In Positioning The Head Of An Infant?

My son will be 15 weeks tomorrow and I have been having a hard time repositioning his head while sleeps. When he sleeps he prefers to sleep on the left side of his head and it s starting to become a little flat. I try to position him in a way so he can t lay on that side and it doesn t work he either will cry until I allow him to lay on the left side or he will turn his head to that side by himself. I m not entirely sure what to do with him cause I don t want him to get a flat head but it seems like there is nothing I can do to prevent it. I can t call my doctor until Monday cause they are closed should I have him see someone sooner or no?
