The best tip i learned was to roll your index finger on its side slightly, i find it's stronger away from the natural bend of your finger so you don't have to press down as hard so it's easier. It is also harder on an acoustic, the strings tend to be heavier and the string height higher as boab says to get more volume. If possible perhaps try on an electric guitar to build technique.
I was going to say just wiggle your fingers around until you get the chord without the buzz, but thinking about it, this is what I do when barring a chord..It did help though that my neighbour for 12 years is the guitar teacher in the most expensive school in Cheltenham and he gave me a few lessons, and a lot of tips
