So far to keep it clean, I have to slightly push the E and A stings away from each other because my middle finger will touch the A sting if I don't. Is this OK??

That is absolutely ok, but try playing with Middle finger on low E 3rd fret, Index on A 2nd fret, Ring on 3rd fret B string, and Pinky on high E 3rd string. I like that sound better.
