Which strings are the ones getting muted or buzz? You could also try doing it another way. Just barring all 3 frets with 1 finger. Or use your first finger to fret the top 2 notes and your second finger for the bottom one. You shouldn't have a problem with being too close to the 2nd fret. Just as long as you aren't on top of it, it should be clear. Also make sure you are pressing down enough.

Best way to see where the problem is is to play the chord "1 finger at a time". place your first finger, see if all strings sound, then second and see if all strings sound, then 3rd. Wherever you are no longer able to hear the strings clearly take a step back and see what may be causing the problem. It is is obviously right before that last finger you are supposed to lay down.
