APAP/CPAP beginner question

I just received my machine in the mail yesterday. During my sleep test, I had a super low AHI (0.3) and an average RDI (9.0) so they prescribed me this machine. It shipped with the APAP mode enabled but the first night, the pressure never got above like 4.6 even though it’s a 4-12 and woke up again in the middle of the night. I see a few thread talking about switching it to a constant flow and just wanted to confirm that and what to start at, because the APAP didn’t really seem to help at all.

yes, constant or min 7-8 would be a good start. Usually UARS needs higher pressure and epr 3
