No worries - first, I'd point out that it doesn't have to be directly on the tip of your finger. In fact, it's probably more often going to be just a centimeter or so down towards the front of the last jointed portion of your finger.

Second, you will need to curl your fingers a bit and make sure that you're not putting too much stress on your wrist.

So I'd say curl your fingers until you're coming straight at the fretboard and then relax a little bit. Whatever spot you're at is probably where you'll be the most comfortable.

Hope this helps!
