Is this safe?

I know this may seem like a pathetic question, but I get really bad anxiety around SIDS to the point of struggling to sleep in case anything happens.

I have a 4 day old newborn. I am struggling to get her to sleep in her crib but I can't safely co-sleep right now so it's my only option. I have eventually managed to get her to sleep in her own crib by my bed but she has almost immediately rolled up on her side. I know they are supposed to sleep on their back but is this safe? I have a Halo Bassinet so it's breathable mesh all round. Or should I be putting her onto her back although I know from the last few nights this is likely to wake her.

Put her back on her back, put a blanket over her up to under her armpits and tuck it in either side that should stop her rolling, and congratulations x
(Also this kind of anxiety is completely normal but if it gets overwhelming speak to your midwife/health visitor) 😊
