When he lays down his paws touch both sides
You do not want the crate too big, they feel secure in the crate because it is "cozy" just like a natural den that they would dig in the dirt. You want the crate "just" big enough so that he can stand, turn & lay down not so much to where he can sprawl all out.
It is a little hard to tell from the pic exactly how much room he does have, I think maybe because it is so close up and large???? But from what I can tell he should be just fine with that crate.

What size is the crate? I, personally, would look into getting a bigger one, like a size up or something.
Molly's crate was almost 4x too large for her when she was a tiny pup, but she was fine in it, no accidents, she loved it.
I think Charlie is fine, but if he were my dog, I would exchange for a slightly bigger one. (Go to the next largest size)

He looks to be about the same size of Kaige & Kaige takes about that much room when he lays like that. Then sometimes Kaige curls all up in his crate & I'd be able to fit another dog in with him then. It's amazing how tiny they can get.
