Baby is only okay when in burping position

My little guy is having some gas and/or stomach issues I think. He's been fussy and I can hear his tummy gurgling around. We try to but him but he almost never burps, we do his little bicycle legs too. If we put him in like cradle position or almost any position that isn't Iver the shoulder burping position, he cries. could it be gas? or something else? I don't know 😣😥😫
