Cat keeps peeing over the litter box entrance. What should I do?

So I have a litter box with pretty high walls, but it has an understandably low enough entrance so that it's comfortable for the cat to come in. Issue is that the cat is positioning herself in a way that makes her pee over the low entrance.

I tried rotating the litter box so that the entrance would be against the wall and she had to enter by going over a high wall, but now she whines every time she goes do her business, I'm assuming out of annoyance for having to jump to get in.

She's already been checked three times by the vet. No UTI and no arthritis. Everything's perfect with her. This is entirely behavioral. The usual suggestion I get is getting a box with higher walls but that only accounts for when a cat pees over a side wall, not over the entrance.

Last thing I tried today is putting a small box besides the wall of the litter box so she has an easier time going in. She hasn't gone as of the writing of this post, so I don't know if it will work.
