There is no right or wrong way to finger a chord. How I finger a chord is based on where I am transitioning from or transitioning to in order to perform a smooth transition. Do what works for you, the fingering that is difficult for you, try to incorporate it into an exercise to help with development, at some point that fingering may be more useful for transitioning.
