Is the problem the leaning or the droopy leaves? May need to be rotated

Sometimes plants droop when they need water ☺️

It’s very leggy and looking for more light. The pot may be too small to support the growing root system. Clip and propagate to get fullness using a succulent soil mix. Move to a west or south facing window to get 4 to 6 hours of full sun. This will prevent a leggy plant and the new growth will be fuller like the Blue Chalk sticks in the picture. Good luck. 🍀
