If you mean it's problematic as the LH3 tonehole is inline with the rest of the tonehole chimneys, then drop your left wrist down so you're playing with your fingers so they're more perpendicular to the top joint. Later Selmers with the forked Eb/Bb mechanism have an offset LH3 tonehole chimney which is flush with the joint surface.
Although more recently some clarinet makers have been fitting a raised LH3 tonehole bush - that will make fitting a forked Eb/Bb mechanism much easier as the bush is already present and the only cutting that will have to be done is cutting a recess around it and drilling the small vent tonehole between the LH3 and LH2 chimneys. I added the forked Eb/Bb mechanism to my plastic Yamaha and it works as well as can be expected - see attachment.
