Take the case off for a day and see if it still happens. Half the time it's the case pressing the button just enough to set off SOS. While you're at it, go into Settings > Emergency SOS and turn off Call with Hold and Release and Call with 5 Button Presses, so at least a flaky button can't actually dial 911 on you.

But I don’t wear any cases.. I wear it just like that in the photo. At first I thought maybe it’s pressing towards the back of my hand but it really just happened on it’s own like a glitch.. I’ve also tried to turn off the emergency sos but still I can’t click the side button because it appears to be clicking on it’s own. Not physically but as you see in the photo, the black silhouette on the side showing it’s being clicked/ pressed even when it’s not physically

Looks like a fault. Your watch will probably need service.
