6 month old rolling onto stomach in his sleep

My DS has recently learned to roll from his back to his front but at the moment can not roll from his front to his back.

For the last 2 nights and at naps, we’ve noticed when we are putting him down awake, he initially starts to kick off, he rolls onto his side and calms down, and then rolls onto his front and falls asleep which is great BUT I’m questions whether it is ok for him to be sleeping on his front if he can not roll back onto his back?

Do I need to move him or can I let him sleep on his front?

Many thanks in advance, a VERY tired mum 🤣

I always understood that once they can roll over themselves they are safe to choose their sleeping position. That was certainly said 20 years ago.
