Bbm is a barre chord, requiring your index finger to cover the entire first fret. It helps if the finger is slightly over the top, that way all the fleshy parts will press the strings down. Try moving your index slightly up or down if any strings are muted, make sure this part sounds good before adding in the ring finger. Place your ring finger on the third fret of the G string, and your hand will now have a claw shape. The ring finger needs to remain straight up, so it doesn’t touch the C string.
