I believe lunar eclipses only happen at full moon.

Yes, I believe you are correct, or at least very close to full moon.

By virtue of the positions of the Earth, Moon and Sun at the time of a lunar eclipse, by definition, a lunar eclipse can only happen during a full moon. Conversely, a solar eclipse can only occur during a new moon.
