It needs more light

The curtain is usually open, do you think it is top heavy?

Yes, I do think it’s top-heavy, but the plants seem like they’re not getting enough light so I would maybe invest in a small grow light and the plants will become healthier and more compact

I have one similar and I heard they get top heavy so I have it supported with a stick

he's too heavy! give him a stake or repot him lower to the soil.

Thanks for the tips

Definitely needs more light, but it also would help to rotate the arrangement on a regular basis so all the succulents are encouraged to grow straight up. At some point though, you will probably want to lop off the top and put it in the soil to root. Would make it much easier to manage.
