hi! i have a 4-5 week old kitten who still isn’t peeing/pooping on their own.

so for context, found a litter of kittens and i took in the runt. they were i would have to say around 3-5 days old. I was completely new to taking care of bottle babies/neonates. just to cut to chase, i took the little one to the vet already and everything is looking good. she is the littlest one compared to her siblings when i first got her and currently on this post date, she weighs 477g

She is about 4-5 weeks old now and has her premolars coming in. Already tried introducing her to gruel and have been just putting her in the small shallow litter box. Only thing is, she still has yet to pee/poop completely on her own and still requires stimulation. My 2 year old cat who has never had babies, has recently adopted her and took over the grooming and playing and stimulating every now and then(saves me tissues) is there any suggestions or maybe some advice/knowledge that anyone has for this? I’ve tried everything to try and get her to go in the litter box but she has never gone potty on her own yet just tissues tissues tissues!!! she’s also getting very aggressive with clawing me when stimulating and would really like to not be🥲 please help.
