This might not be the case for the situation, it may be the clarinet. Though, this is a common misconception that intonation has to do with the setup, and that does play a large role in that, though there is also a lot of interior body function that has to do with the sound an pitch of the clarinet.
People sometimes tend to tighten their throat without realizing it in that register (I know I used to, though I remedied the problem). What needs to happen is a direct flow of air, from the stomach to the horn and the resistance of that area on the clarinet, especially a Selmer is very high.
To avoid having this happen, you should try opening up and singing a few open notes while monitoring the air flow in your body, apply that to clarinet. Not only will the pitch of those notes go up, but the sound will be more focused which is in the end what you are looking for.
