It’s important that your right-hand fingers are perpendicular to the strings for optimal note plucking and recovery to rest position. The image below is a great example. Each of the 3 fingers should be perpendicular. This will make it easy for you to play notes and will in time contribute to fingerpicking really quickly if you want to.
If you need a correction, then consider moving the whole arm up a bit or down a bit (i.e. moving your right elbow so that you can comfortably achieve this position with a straight right wrist). As a beginner, it might take some adjustments but even just being conscious of what good looks like will get you to the right place.
