Car doesn’t full engage reverse

Sometimes when i put my car in reverse it would’t fully engage reverse, so i would have to let go of the clutch and put it back to neutral then press down the clutch again then put it in reverse so it would fully engage reverse .

When it doesn’t fully engage , it would get stuck halfway and wouldn’t go down any further (i wouldn’t slam it and put it into reverse, wouldn’t wanna risk breaking the transmission or gears so i would repeat the steps to get it in smoothly) i have never drove with the reverse halfway not risking my first car . This is a 2008 Corolla S [Manual Transmission]

I’ve had people commenting telling me to just get an actual manual transmission car that aren’t mainly automatic like the corolla but this is my first car and i learned driving stick from this car.
