Remember, Anthony ( @tonyvm3avm@gmail.com ), you only have to fret the A string, first fret. You don’t need to fret any other string, including the high E to make this chord work. That being said, get you ring finger down first and then get your index to that A string.
If this is what you have already been trying, I have 2 other suggestions. 1st, some people play this with their pinky. I don’t know if you have tried that. The other thing is to stop the video when Tony does it and very carefully analyze the position of his hand and wrist and elbow and fingers. Then try to imitate his position the best you can. When I do this, I can actually make a better A shaped barre chord.
I hope this helps.
