Is this snail falling off of rock or glass? My snails (different varieties) can lay like that for a good long while. I try not to worry about them unless I see a gang of hermits and/or the cleaner shrimp digging at the shell.

I have seen this behavior also and I attribute it to his shell growing phase. dont worry he will right him/herself
