What works for me is to keep the general shape of the finger picking hand but I curl the ends of fingers just a little more and when I slap I’m hitting with the flat part of my nails. I give it a quick hit, I try to get the strings to slap against the frets (not perfect with that but getting better) but now you have to slide your hand down just a tad and real quick to hook onto the strings make the next pluck.
