help quick! bst pupating on bottom of cage

I thought he was going to pupate on the wall of the mesh container last night, but this morning I found him on the bottom in a curled pupating position. Doesn't seem like he fell, because he was too far out from the wall.

He's lying as close to face down as possible, on top of a towel (terrycloth kind, not paper towel). I don't even know if his butt is connected using a silk pad.

Will he be able to pupate like this? Doesn't he need to have space all around him to wiggle the skin off? What if he doesn't have a silk pad to give him stability? Anything I can do to check to see if he's secure (I hate to mess with him and screw him up somewhow) or help position him for success?

I don't know what to do...

I can email a picture to anyone who wants to try to help. I don't know how to post them here.

Thanks.
