i’m not a pro by any means but maybe try a soil that helps control over and under watering! when i can’t figure out what’s wrong with my plants i just re pot them with fresh soil and make sure to spray my roots down good. this might be bad advice i’m still new to the plant world!

I use a mix of orchid bark, perlite, sand and vermiculite for better draining soil. Do you know how much light it’s getting?

Is there drainage? I would first and foremost make sure there is drainage. The plant that is stretched out is looking for light.  
Succulents need good bright light from an east, west or southern window. And if you have good drainage you water it thoroughly and then let it dry completely. Drown and drought.  
Succulents do not like to sit in water.
