Am I doing them wrong

Currently up with ds7, sure he has Covid. Started complaining of not feeling well today, didn't have much energy all day, come this evening had a temp of 38.8. He's had a few hours sleep but awake again now with a nasty chesty cough and saying his throat really hurts.
I did a lateral flow this morning which came back negative. I'm worried I'm not doing it right though. I can't put the swab very far up his nose as he is autistic and freaks out about the test as it is so it's hard to do. Am I right in rubbing the swab around the entire inside of his nostril in a circle? Or do I need to be going higher up?
These are just the nose swab tests.
Half his class are off with Covid atm so I'm pretty certain it's that

Okay thanks everyone.
Feel so bad for him, his throat is really sore so whenever he coughs it's agony
