PS sometimes I can mute well enough with my right hand IF I’m using a pick, but often I still find myself doing the thumb over

Is this an OK place to post questions for the next office hours? The online community post is really long and I didn’t see anything very recent there. I do keep my palm away from the neck when I’m playing single notes with a pick, but when I’m fingerpicking open chords, I find myself using my thumb to mute the E string, which requires my palm to make contact with the neck. Any words of wisdom? I’m way behind on challenges and lessons because my wrist is whackadoo, but hopefully I will be back in the game soon :-) 🙏🙏 You are cranking out the content! Thx!
