As a low rated player on chess.com, I am finding it hard some days/nights to get a Rapid 15/10 game on here. Is that normal? I've tried moving up to 10 min games but I don't feel comfortable with it. I find myself watching the clock instead of playing the board.
I have even tried playing higher ranked opponents on 15/10 but most opponents are obviously better and I just get jacked up.
Any advice??? And please go beyond the typical infomercial answer of buying a premium account and doing tactics or buying your chess hero's book.

If you can, play the 15|10 tourneys. The longer time controls are the least popular, so you have the potential to wait for a compatible match. You might also widen your allowed rating range, but that may not help a lot.
Try putting out 30 minute rapid challenges. I’ve not had to wait for long when I play.

Playing tournaments and widening my rating range only feeds me to higher ranked opponents that I can't beat.

I have 30 as well. No go. I have seen some open challenges for Daily games but they are too slow for my liking.

I'm good. You are well above my ranking so there'd be no real point. But thanks anyway.

So now I see how it works. You try to goad weaker players into playing you so you can pad your stats. That by definition is a coward Comrade.
