He sometimes tries continuously try to climb up on the side but then... fails.When he fails, he falls on his back on the rock:(
It's just your turtle's personality. Every turtle has a weird thing they like to do. Yours likes UVB light a lot.
I put a fake vine plant around my basking area, and my female seems to really enjoy the privacy. Maybe the plants will help calm your turtle down.
