Hey I totally understand, normally you flatten your index finger to cover everything in a bar chord.
If that's difficult try slightly bending your index finger making this shape ")" so your only touching the root F with the tip of your finger, and between your first knuckle will naturally hit the C and the F of the chord, or the 1st and 2nd string.
Hope that makes a little sense, if not I can go deeper, it's all body mechanics, or finger mechanics haha! I stress this shape ) with your 1st finger.
I love Fmajor! You will get that...
Take care, best wishes:
