I just wish I reached here a little earlier vs I just wish I reach here a little early

The correct phrase is "I just wish I had reached here a little earlier." The use of the past perfect tense "had reached" is appropriate in this context to express a wish about a past event. The second phrase is incorrect because it uses the simple present tense "reach" instead of the past perfect tense.
