Hatchlings shells are normally a little soft and flexible
around the back edges especially. I wouldn't worry about it.
Getting him in the sun is always great just make sure there
is plenty of shade and never put them out in an aquarium. Many
have lost their babies as a result of overheating.

Congrats and very cute baby. Mine were this size once
