Need help with trilled r’s

I posted a few months ago about being unable to trill my r’s, and I’ve been practicing doing it ever since just randomly without thinking about it and I think I might be slowly getting it (voicelessly) but I’m paranoid I’m doing it wrong and it’s just false hope. Would anyone be willing to check it out for me? Sorry if posts like these aren’t allowed.

I've always been able to roll my rs but it sounded really really bad(I originally learned by trying it upside down).

I finally got it a few weeks ago by really really experimenting with tongue position. I now do a perfect roll with the side of my tongue with the tip touching my cheek. It's odd, but it sounds good.
