Have you tried listening to natives pronounce it? Here are some words that contain ぎゅ on WK. They all have multiple audio files.

牛肉 WaniKani / Vocabulary / 牛肉
牛丼 WaniKani / Vocabulary / 牛丼

Are you having troubles with just ぎゅ? Or all kana combinations with a small やゆよ?

I’m not sure what you mean. Why not record yourself trying to pronounce it and post that, otherwise we aren’t going to be able to offer concrete advice.

Also, what is your native language? As an English speaker, some of the やゆよ ligatures do give me trouble, but I can do them fine with concentration.

Have you tried first pronouncing ぎ and ゆ separately in quick succession, going faster and faster until you mix them together?
