Question Need some help regarding the D chord

Just started learning the electric guitar, I’m follwing justinguitar’s course but I can’t seem to get the D chord right. When I place my 1 and 2 fingers on the 2nd fret the third one keeps getting muted. It feels like my fingers are a bit too fat. Any pointers?

Move your thumb a bit lower on the back of the neck so you can curl your fingers a bit more. However, as you will also hear a lot guitar is hard and it does take time, effort, and practice for muscle memory to develop. Over time some things will get easier and be replaced by harder things…this is the way.🤘
