the palm of your hand should never touch the fretboard.As you may know you should always position your thumb as if you were giving a thumb print on the back of the neck. I have run into this situation before and it is a hard habit to break.Only your fingertips should be touching the fretboard. If you want to break this habit, use your ring and pinky fingers when forming a normal three note bar chord. Once you do manage to break the habit, it is okay to flaten out your ring finger to get the 5th and octave but only use this when you are playing normal bar chord progressions.If you are playing something that requires a full chord,always use your ring and pinky fingers for it allows you to form full chords more quickly. Only in certain styles should you use your palm on the fretboard.Hope this helps you out.
