Add shredded paper or newspapers. Try to layer wet organic stuff (veg
peelings, weeds, grass clippings, etc.) with dry stuff (paper,
cardboard, straw, that sort of stuff) on an ongoing basis.
I'm not sure I know what you mean with the various shelves, mine is
just a straightforward bottomless square plastic box, but when I found
I had your problem some years ago, I emptied out all the soggy mess,
and re-started layering it with paper. It was not the most pleasant
of jobs, but it sorted out the problem.
