I've been playing mandolin for around 40 years, but don't recall coming across an "4FCC" chord. What exactly is that chord?
** EDIT **
Doh! 4FCC = 4 finger chop chord. OK, yes - I play those. My advise is to lay your fingers GENTLY on the strings with your hand, wrist, and arm TOTALLY RELAXED. Try moving the universal joint of your wrist, fingers, hand, elbow, and shoulder while your fingers lay GENTLY on the strings (not pressing down at all) until you find the position which allows you to fret the chord as naturally as possible. Also while doing this, try moving the position of your mandolin neck (e.g. try pointing a bit up towards the ceiling) to find the optimal position of both the MANDOLIN and your ARM/HANDS/FINGERS.
