Have a new RBT and would like to make sure I am doing the right things

Hi,
I have a new RBT (8 days now) in my established Biocube. The nem has been holed up in 1 corner after making an initial pass around the tank when I put him in. I can't tell what's going on with him though. He is definitely healthy right now but I am a bit worried because he only stays in this corner and spins. Can't believe he isn't dizzy ! Once in awhile he will end up overturned and then rights himself and basically spins. Maybe I don't have enough flow? I have a nano powerhead just above him in the picture but the flow is going across the tank and not down. I have a DIY LED that is on as low as I can put it but i know it is plenty bright. I do have 2 clowns but they are not interested at all at him.
I hope I have said enough to get some thoughts flowing and thank you in advance for your help!!!

HAPPY EASTER

Try to place it into an area in the rocks that has a crevice. It's looking stressed with that gaping mouth.
