help needed

Before I begin I want you to know I am dedicated ,I do take lessons and practice allot,I have just ended up with a problem So I know this is a good place to ask,

When I started playing I used the baseball bat style hold on the neck and began practicing notes and scales,I did well..

I then began practicing chords and I struggled allot.

I would go from e to e minor ..then d to a

and then try mixing it up,,I I told my instructor and and he told me to try traditional hold on the neck ,so I did,,I tried for 2 solid weeks,,it was very uncomfortable and I even struggled worse..

Im now back to the baseball style and it seems like its getting better.
Are there any good practical exercises
I can do for chord changing??
I really struggle with the d ,I always end up with a buzz on my e string ,I see that my finger always ends up on the fret and thats causing the buzz,so I do know what Im doing wrong.
Maybe this is just a slow process..

I just did so well with scales that it was a huge disappointment to see me struggle with chords.

Am I the only one ??

Thanks
