The first two gears shift with no problems then it skips every second gear until it reaches the bottom. The derailleur hanger is not bent the only other thing I can think of would be the length of the chain. Deore m5100 1×11

From the looks of it (when on the smallest cog) I’d say, that the chain is close to the correct size, could probably be 2 links longer. It does look like your derailleur is fighting for its life when on the largest cog.
Maybe your indexing is off? Setting the limiter wrong on the smallest cog can screw up the indexing with results that sound like yours
Why do you think the derailleur hanger isn’t bent? The chain looks like it could be a tad too short but that wouldn’t impact the entire gear range since it’s only stressing the derailleur in the largest cog. Have you messed with the cable tension at all? Only shifting properly for 2 out of 10 gears says “cable tension” to me
If it’s skipping every 2nd gear all the way down, then it isn’t the chain length that is the issue.
