If English if not your first language the usage of "now" is difficult to fully comprehend. It has many nuanced translations but is most often used to mean "in this moment". It is also used to emphasise a statement.

"Now Daddy didn't take too kindly his only daughter dating a black boy."

"They put the homeless kids in cages, now that ain't right."

Your sentence is acceptable.
