I would suggest reading multiple sex scenes. Stop in at the library or even book shop and head to books that you know are likely to have sex scenes, find them and read through.

Keep in mind you are reading romance through to erotica which is not your genre so it doesn't need to be as detailed or explicit as what you're reading. However it will give you a good idea about the flow of sex scenes, and what's included. Normally it's not so much about mechanics and more about the chemistry and emotions.

To be honest, when I write sex scenes I get drunk af and then worry about editing them later.

For what it's worth, my female cousin is in a wheel chair and has an active sex life. They do it in bed. Part of your issue is that being in a wheel does not give enough information about the disability. You need to know what their abilities are, how much movement they have, how much feeling they have. My cousin has spina bifida. She is able to get herself out of her wheel chair and onto bed. She can stand for very short periods of time. She dresses herself.
I've never read or seen it so can't vouch too much for it, but 'Me before you' is a romance with a male in a wheelchair. I assume they have sex. Watching and reading that may help.
