Lets assume gear is not at issue.
It may be, in which Tony's insight above, not mine to follow, in more consistent with your problem.
Sometimes, application of the left pinky to play these notes twists the clarinet to the player's left, ever so subtly, throwing off the embouchure enough to pinch the reed and cause it to squeak.
If so, minimize rotation of the clarinet with respect to its length dimension when the left pink is in use.
Also, full fingered notes like low F#, or the C# that is 1/12 above it (i.e. same fingering with the register key) are common for players to squeak on, and often alleviated by TIMM (take in more mouthpiece).
How much more? Keep on taking in mouthpiece until you squeak. Then back off a micron. That's your place.
