That’s normal . As the child lies most of the time , his head takes a flat shape. It will mould itself and become normal before the bones fuse.

nothing to worry about it. the head gets moulded over the time and usually by the age of 2 years it becomes normal  so don't get worried and be rest assured.

How is his development ? If his development is normal don’t worry about the flat back head. Turn him to one side when he sleeps.
