Did I do it wrong?

You appear to be having some positional apneas, the apnea clusters are a sign of this. You are most likely chin tucking, your neck/throat position is cutting off your air way. Imagine a garden hose bent over, stopping the flow of water, CPAP pressure will not help with this. You need to either get a lower pillow or if you sleep on your back try sleeping on your side or try using a soft cervical collar, it helps with some people. Also, if you do not have to use the ramp, turn it off, you aren't getting any benefit from the CPAP to control apneas when it is running. Your flow limits are quite high and may be causing arousals, also you pressure may not be quite high enough, but first I think that you should get the positional apnea under control.
Search WIKI on this site for more info on positional apnea.

Thank you!
So for now, just have him sleep on side, instead of on back, and turn off ramp?
Is flow limits something I need to change?
