It is a challenge on many chords to get all the notes clear, and not muffle some with a finger on another string. It is a common thing we all struggle with, work on, and get better at with time. I am not sure how you are fretting it; but fretting with the tip of the finger, not the pad, is the goal. Then having the finger coming onto the string straight, at a right angle to the fret board, a sharp turn at that last knuckle; not angled at 45 degrees, is something to work on if you are not doing that. I find it tough to do on certain chords, a challenge for sure. Time and practice, and you will see improvement.
