Was asleep is fine. We would say, he was asleep on his left side..

Although it was not part of your question, another comment that I would make is that you said he was sleeping on his left. That would mean that he was located to the left of himself and sleeping. The best way to say that would be he was sleeping on his left side.

To his back would mean in the direction of his back. That really doesn't make sense. On his back means that you rolled him so that he is lying on his back with his back down against the floor.
