If you alter the fingering for a chord it is basically learning a new chord. You will have to spend the time to train the brain for that new fingering. If you learn the chord one way it is often then a little quicker when you change it but not by much.

It does take a lot of time and focused practice to get a chord shape into “muscle memory”.

There is great book on how the brain learns The Laws of Brainjo. Worth a read if you are interested in that sort of thing. It really helped me in my guitar journey.
