your strap may be too low. adjust it. dont make it too high unless you wanna look like a loser. sit down, play, look at your wrist. keep the wrist exactly like that. now stand up with the guitar. you should adjust your strap soo your wrist can get in the same position as sitting down. or close. if you dont give your wrist some space, you cant do anything. what i do, is i adjust the strap, then angle my guitar so the headstock is going sorta diagonal instead of horizontal.

its also pretty common not to be able to use your pinkie finger in the upper frets on the 6-5/4 strings. i can barrely get my pinkie up there. i just use my other 3 fingers.

another probablem could be that you have a very thick guitar neck, or you have a bolt-on guitar that on the bolts its like 4 inches and that really takes up some space.

well, dont worry about it, you're not the only one with that problem.
