I have automatic turners, no need to open to turn eggs.

I take butter knives and put them in a V shape so they can't roll across the whole incubator. That's not helping me much with my call eggs right now though. Today's day 28I always lay mine down no matter what. Other people will tell you different ways. I feel the babies need room to wiggle & maneuver to get into position & need to be able to get the egg to rock & roll to do that. I run my bators pretty full so they don't usually get to play soccer with their hatch mates simply because there isn't room. If you have a smaller number of babies hatching, try using hatching baskets or small boxes with the bottoms cut out to separate eggs with just 2-3 per section. That will help keep eggs from getting kicked across the bator while trying to hatch.
