Find what works for you and do it. Clarinetists are notorious for overthinking the sound-producing mechanisms of the body and second-guessing to oblivion, beating themselves into habits that end up hindering their playing rather than doing what feels natural.

If something you're doing is causing a problem, try different things in order to fix it. If no problem has been diagnosed, don't change your playing to what someone has declared the "right" way to do it. You might explore different ways to do something, but don't intentionally shy away from something that works for you because someone says it shouldn't work.
