If you search on YouTube: "How to pronounce R in French from Learn French With Alexa", you'll find a very helpful video

like guggling spit

i literally did that until i got the hang of it

think of it as an H

because the sound is pronounced to the back there

then just practise gurgling

The whole gargling thing is optional. People like Francis Cabrel don't make the sound at all. Oc he still makes a french r sound but as if it is any other sound making it sound softer ig to fit the style of his music.

then other people make a huge r sound like an angry cat

sure, even I don’t make such a harsh sound
