1 month old sleep question

DS turned 1 month old today :) During the day he naps either in my moby wrap or in his vibrating bouncy seat. When I put him in his bouncy seat, I always put him down drowsy but awake and he does great. But at night when we go to bed, he has yet to really sleep on his back. He usually passes out in his bouncy vibrator seat around 8-9pm and wakes for a feeding around 11, then we head to bed. He either sleeps snuggled up next to me with my arm under his head/neck to give him a slight incline or he sleeps on my chest with me propped up with pillows at an incline. If I lay him down on his back, no matter where it is (I've tried next to me and his PNP) he wakes up within a few moments and fusses until I put him on my chest and pat his back until he goes back to sleep. I really want to transition him at least to his back next to me with the goal for him to be in his PNP in a few weeks once he hopefully starts sleeping for longer than 2-3 hour stretches.

Any of you gals have any luck in getting your LO to sleep on their back? If so how did you do it? I have read lots of people who put LO on their tummy, which worries me because of the SIDS risk, but if he is already sleeping on his belly on my chest at an incline, could I raise his PNP to an incline and see if he sleeps (with no blankets or anything else in the PNP of course)?

I have already tried to swaddle him with a pacifier and he rarely will sleep swaddled and isn't a fan of a pacifier.
