Steps Too Tall for Turtle?

Hello, I am the overly anxious new owner of a red eared slider. I am concerned about the basking area. I set it up using different sized bricks. The first one is about 3 and 1/2 inches off the bottom and completely covered with water, the next is about 2 inches, and the top is another 2 inches up. My question is- is that first step too high up for him? I have only had him less than a day but he doesn’t go up there unless I put him up there. Should that first step be lower? I saw him get down okay, just not up.
