My understanding is that the larger the bore, the larger the tone holes.
Your problem can be not covering completely just one tone hole, and not necessarily because of its size but finger/hand positioning.
I'd try to pinpoint the exact tone hole/finger producing the problem.
If all three are problematic, you might want to look into relocating the thumb rest or installing an aftermarket, more supportive, thumb rest.
Would be nice if you have someone else to watch your fingers while playing- your teacher or a friend who also plays clarinet.
Also, there are plateau clarinets that would eliminate such problem alltogether.
