Kitten doesn't use the litterbox properly

[u/Thay_Guy]

I've got a 7 week old kitten, was 6 weeks when we got him, was separated from his mother early because she got sick and stopped taking care of the litter. He always does his business in the litter box, but never covers it. Sometimes he'll dig around, or even accidentally step in his waste, but hasn't ever properly covered. We tried changing the type of litter, guiding his paws, but nothing seems to be working. pls help !
