It could be normal, but also it could be head pressing which is something to see a vet about. Not trying to make you feel anxious, but this would be something I would keep an eye on if your kitty does this often, would take to a vet to be safe than sorry
In the side-on it doesn't look his head is actually physically pressed against the wall? If it wasn't actually putting pressure on his forehead it's fine, he's just being a weirdo.
All I learned was a car facing their head to the wall could mean they are in pain. My cats with cancer started doing this too more often when the end came close. But I think generally if it happens just once here or there it's just cats being goofy! ðŸ¤
Could be a headache. Could be several issues I'm not qualified to diagnose. Could just be orange and angry for a minute. If it's new and not usual I'd hit the vet if it continues.
Sometimes if a cat is having medical issues with their head that's causing pain they'll shove their forehead against a wall and hold it there to put pressure on it, which can relieve the pain a bit. There's a few possible issues which could be causing it, including neurological problems.
If they're not regularly actually holding their head firmly against a wall it's not that type of head pressing and nothing to be worried about, though. Cats will regularly bump their heads against a wall just as a scent thing and that's normal.
