Struggling to cuddle curl

How close should my baby be when we cuddle curl? Honestly she hates it and will only sleep on my chest lol. When we cuddle curl how close should she be to me? She is a small 3 monther at 10lbs. She only wants to be right next to me, like touching me me, in the rare opportunity it works. She is on her back and wants to be right up against me. She likes to hit herself in the face to stay awake lol always ends up back on my chest. How close is safe for her to be next to me?
