Can anyone recommend finger exercises for reaching chords on my fret hand? I’m having some difficulty playing the C major chord.

Place your fingers in the correct position on the fretboard (Finger 1 - C on the B string, Finger 2 - E on the D string, Finger 3 - C on the A string). Pluck each string to ensure clear sound. Switch from C Major to G Major or F Major to practice smooth chord transitions.
