I don’t find I have that much trouble with the formation of the chord itself, but rather making the transition smooth. I find if I place my middle finger down first, the barre and the ring / pinky combo just naturally go to the right strings and frets. ( My ring and pinky work better together than separately). What I was always trying to do before was get the barre in place and then lay down the Am shape ( or even the E shape for the F chord). This lead to some clunky strums as I would sometimes miss the placement. I guess it’s just how my fingers are wired that the middle take the lead in the transition and the other fingers follow.
