Hi Second Try. A lagging left pinky isn't going to cause a squeak when moving from D to C#, it will just cause C# to be late.

You said you're satisfied that the ring finger doesn't move off the hole when the mishap occurs. Check your other left hand fingers, particularly the index finger. If your hand is rotating or otherwise moving, that can also slide a little bit off its hole. It's happened to me before.

Ideally the left hand remains in pretty much the same position at all times, though in practice some little changes tend to creep in. You might watch yourself in a mirror and see if that offers any clues when the mishap occurs.
