In the prostration of gratitude, it is recommended to press the chest and abdomen to the ground. Should one extend their legs on the ground to achieve this (in a prone position), or is it meant to press the chest against the thighs?

Peace be upon you and God's mercy and blessings.
The intention is not to spread out on the ground or to press the chest against the thighs, but rather to press the throat, chest, and abdomen to the ground.
The throat of a person refers to the area where the bones of the chest meet.
