Hello @peterjwacks and @efbau02 - welcome to the Community plus Justin’s guitar course.
Check this to help.
Just relax it and, if you can, have it uncurled and hovering over the strings a little - as though poised ready to move to a string should the next chord you change to require the little finger.
See the above pic also.
I hope that helps.
Cheers
