A lot of catfish sleep on their side or on their back.
What was wrong with it that made you move it?
Besides some minor damage to the left pectoral fin, it looks fine.
Is it eating?
What does its poop look like?
What's the water quality like (ammonia, nitrite, nitrate and pH)?

Fish rubbing on objects can be caused by poor water quality (ammonia, nitrite or nitrate), or external protozoan parasites like white spot, velvet, Costia, Chilodonella & Trichodina.
White spot and velvet need heat or chemical medications (Malachite Green or copper) to kill the parasites.
Costia, Chilodonella & Trichodina can be killed with Malachite Green, copper or salt. You need 2 heaped tablespoons of rock salt per 20 litres of water for this. Keep salt in water for 2 weeks.
If you have external protozoan parasites in the aquarium, you might as well put him back in the main tank and treat that.

If there's no improvement after a week or two, put the fish back in the tank and post pictures and video of it and the other fish, and the tank.
Do a 75% water change and gravel clean every day for a week. See if that helps.
You can try deworming the fish. See section 3 of the following link for information on deworming fish.
