Whenever my kitten tries to rub my hand with the side of his mouth, he instead digs his snout into my hand. (lemmy.ml)

Is this normal kitten behavior? He hasn't quite grasped the concept of scenting yet.

Side of the mouth is scenting to claim you as his.

Pushing his head into your hand is usually saying "Pet me slave and you may live another day".
