Long fingers will actually work to your advantage later when you need to do long reaches.

What chords are you having trouble with and what frets/strings get muted with what fingers when you play them?

Other than that, the generic tips apply: Pay on the tips of your fingers. Make sure your thumb is positioned correctly behind the neck. Play as close to the fret as possible. When playing a chord, add one finger at a time until you find the finger that throws it all off and is the problem.
