I honestly don’t know what I did wrong. They have enough sunlight, and I allow them to thoroughly dry before I water it

Repot into new soil asap!! Then leave it be for a little bit

could be the soil doesn't have enough drainage and is holding on to the water for too long. for succulents I like to do a mix of about 80% grit (pumice, coarse sand, I've used chicken grit when it's cheaper lol, smaller size pieces for smaller plants) 10% orchid bark or coconut husk and 10% soil. not an expert but it's been working well for me and my dudes!

Why is it buried so far down in the pot?

It’s creating a shadow that blocks light around the entire circumference of the pot.

Also, the soil needs way more grit.

Are You talking about the tall stalks or the bud? The bud fell off so I just placed it in the pot lol
