Bread kneading and shaping can require considerable technique and experience. There are tomes written about this stuff (and some good youtube videos that can shortcut some of it.) I’ve been baking maybe 5 years but it wasn’t until I started making pizzas several times a week that I got a feel for how dough should behave. Then other hydrations require more experience. Make one bread 50 times and I guarantee you will be a lot better.
