Thanks for the great photos @OhWowMan Without photos of the shape being played on the higher fret, it is difficult to say for sure if there is a problem or suggestions.. . It is best to have the thumb on the back of the neck. Using your palm causes fingers to flatten out, and you would have unclear chords most times. The palm is typically away from the neck, your fretting of the mini-F looks good. You could move your wrist a little more forward to increase the arch of the fingers. That might be the solution for playing the shape higher on the neck, along with making sure your thumb is positioned in the center like you have done while playing the mini-F.
