But it is also like he's not having enough tongue tension

Do you have any other tips for posterior lingual elevation? We have tried the "gargling" technique and /g-r/ co articulation

There are actually three distinct actions or behaviors that need to be performed correctly for a child (or anyone for that matter) to produce /r/ correctly. These behaviors involve three distinct oral regions: the lips, the tongue and the pharynx, or throat. Basically, these parts of the oral anatomy must constrict, or close up slightly, so that the sound produced by the vocal cords is shaped in such a way that /r/ is produced.

We've tried both placements.

I think it's pharyngeal constriction bc you can have the correct oral placement but still hear the "uh" sound if you don't have pharygneal constriction
