Popping of joints and shoulders are normal, popping with pain should be evaluated.

Many times, "pops" or "clicks" at the shoulder can be indicative of a labrum tear. The only way to confirm that is by taking a shoulder MRI. I recommend that you see a shoulder specialist or have an initial exam done with orthopedic tests to rule in or out a labrum tear.
Sleeping on your stomach is not recommended. Not sure what else could be going on.
